Brilliant Uncirculated Gold Sovereign 2020
Description This Brilliant Uncirculated gold Sovereign is dated 2020. 2020 marks the 200th anniversary of the death of George III, who was the first monarch to appear on the modern sovereign. This edition features a special mint mark, his royal cypher. The letter ‘R’ is added to a monarch’s first initial and is an abbreviation of ‘Rex’ or ‘Regina’, which is Latin for King or Queen. In 1817 as part of a reform of coinage, the modern sovereign was introduced, with Benedetto Pistrucci’s classic portrayal of St. George slaying the dragon. The initials ‘BP’ can be found on the base under the hoof of the horse. The obverse of the coin features Jody Clark’s portrait of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The coin comes in a plastic capsule, along with original Royal Mint box and combined informative booklet and certificate of authenticity. These coins benefit from being Capital Gains Tax (CGT) free.
