George V Sovereigns

George V Sovereign Coins

Explore a distinguished range of George V Sovereign coins , struck during one of the most historically significant periods of modern British gold coinage. Issued between 1911 and 1932, these 22-carat gold Sovereigns represent a pivotal era covering the First World War, the interwar period, and major changes in global economics and empire.

George V Sovereigns are widely collected for their strong historical association with early 20th-century Britain and their extensive minting across multiple Royal Mint branches, including London, Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, Ottawa, and Pretoria. This global production makes the series both diverse and highly collectable, with many different mint marks and variations sought after by collectors.

Each coin is struck in 22-carat gold and contains the same intrinsic gold value as all modern Sovereigns, while offering a unique historical context tied to King George V’s reign. The obverse features the official bare-headed portrait of King George V by Sir Edgar Bertram MacKennal, while the reverse showcases Benedetto Pistrucci’s iconic St George and the Dragon, one of the most celebrated designs in numismatics.

George V Sovereigns are especially popular for their:

• Strong historical significance from the First World War era
• Multiple mint marks from global Royal Mint branches
• Classic St George and the Dragon reverse design
• High collector demand across all condition grades
• Connection to early modern British gold coinage

Notable years such as 1911, 1914, 1915, and 1925 are particularly sought after, with some issues having significant mintages but far fewer surviving in high grades today due to circulation and wartime use. Certain branch mint issues and low-survival dates are especially desirable among advanced collectors.
