Sovereigns

Explore our range of Sovereign Coins from The London Coin Company — a specialist collection featuring both British Royal Mint Sovereigns and international sovereign-style gold coins from leading world mints. This category includes gold bullion Sovereigns alongside historic, modern, proof, bullion, and certified graded issues, making it one of the most important and widely collected areas of global numismatics.

The Sovereign is one of the world’s most famous gold coins, originally introduced in 1817 following the Great Recoinage and still produced today by The Royal Mint. Struck in 22-carat gold, it features the iconic St George and the Dragon design by Benedetto Pistrucci and remains a cornerstone of British gold coinage, widely recognised for its history, purity, and global liquidity.

Alongside British issues, this category also includes sovereign-style gold coins from world mints and former British Empire mints, including Australia, South Africa, Canada, India, and other Commonwealth and international issuers, reflecting the global legacy of the Sovereign as a trusted trade and investment coin.
