The gold Sovereign is one of Britain’s most famous coins. Collectors value its design and craftsmanship, and is thought of as  The Royal Mint’s flagship, and most iconic,coin.

The traditional St George and dragon design by Benedetto Pistrucci is replaced only on special occasions. One such occasion was Her Majesty The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in 2012, a unique occasion that called for a brand new design, which was created by Paul Day.
