- Lot Description
A 1912 British Gold Sovereign struck during the reign of King George V (1865–1936), featuring the iconic St. George and the Dragon design by Benedetto Pistrucci. The obverse presents a left-facing portrait of King George V with the Latin legend *GEORGIVS V D.G. BRITT: OMN: REX F.D. IND: IMP.*, denoting “George V, by the Grace of God, King of all the Britains, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India.” The reverse displays the celebrated image of St. George mounted on horseback slaying the dragon, one of the most enduring and recognizable motifs in world coinage. The date 1912 appears in the exergue beneath the design.
The sovereign is struck in 22-karat gold (.917 fine) with a gross weight of 7.98 grams and an actual gold weight of approximately 0.2354 troy ounces. First introduced in 1817 following the Great Recoinage, the gold sovereign became a cornerstone of international trade and one of the most trusted gold bullion coins worldwide. By the reign of George V, sovereigns were circulated extensively across the British Empire and remain highly sought after by collectors and investors alike.
The coin displays warm original luster with attractive golden surfaces and well-defined details in both portrait and reverse imagery. A classic example of pre–World War I British gold coinage, offering both historical significance and intrinsic precious metal value.
The coin is housed in a Jefferson Coin & Bullion folded plastic envelope.
