1974 Gold Full Sovereign Elizabeth II Bullion Coin
The 1974 gold Sovereign holds a unique place in modern numismatic history as both the first Sovereign of the decimal era and one of the final issues struck at the Royal Mint's historic Tower Hill site in London. Made from 22-carat gold and containing 7.31 grams of pure gold, these pre-owned bullion coins combine trusted precious metal content with important historical significance. They feature Arnold Machin's new portrait of Queen Elizabeth II — appearing for the first time on a Sovereign — alongside Benedetto Pistrucci's iconic Saint George and the dragon reverse. With a total mintage of 5,002,566, the 1974 Sovereign marked the return of the denomination after a six-year break and helped launch a new era of British gold coinage. As UK legal tender, it is Capital Gains Tax exempt and VAT-free, offering an efficient and globally recognised way to invest in physical gold. An important addition to any Sovereign collection.
