Description

The 1825 Gold Sovereign exists in two major recognised types. This first type retains Benedetto Pistrucci's laureate portrait of King George IV and the St George and the dragon reverse used on the earlier coins of the reign.\n\nStruck in 22-carat gold to the established full-Sovereign standard, the coin weighs approximately 7.98 grams and contains about 7.32 grams of fine gold. Its importance comes from being the final date of the laureate-head and St George pairing before the Sovereign adopted a new portrait and heraldic reverse.\n\nCollectors should distinguish this coin from the separate 1825 bare-head shield-back Sovereign. The two designs make 1825 a particularly important transition year within the series.
