The coin is also sometimes referred to as an English Pound.
Design golden Sovereign
Obverse
The obverse of the coin depicts St. George riding a horse. In this well-known image, St. George is depicted with a dragon that he is said to have slain. In this, the dragon symbolizes paganism and St. George is the one who, by defeating the dragon, also ensures the conversion of pagans to Christianity.Â
Reverse
The reverse side depicts Queen Elizabeth II. Furthermore, the reverse of the coin features the Latin text "DEI GRA REGINA FID DEF," or "By the Grade of God, Queen."
The pink or red glow you see on this coin comes from the copper alloy used in combination with the 22 karat gold. The red color of copper gives the coin its unique look, which differs from pure gold coins. This 22 karat content has the advantage that the coins are sturdier and less likely to scratch or damage. This is because pure gold is a softer metal and is more susceptible to scratches and other damage.

The Royal Mint is the official mint of the United Kingdom and boasts a rich history spanning over 1,100 years. Throughout these centuries, the mint has served the United Kingdom during times of war, political upheaval, and social and economic progress. The Royal Mint is renowned for its innovation and is considered a true leader in the world of coinage.
Given the significant role the Royal Mint has played, there is a Royal Mint Museum located within the mint itself in Llantrisant, South Wales. The museum showcases the fascinating history of the Royal Mint and many of the coins it has produced, including experimental coins, artworks, and tools. The quality of the Royal Mint's coins is exceptional, thanks to the innovative production techniques and technologies employed in their minting process.
Investment score
A B-rating indicates products that are still widely recognized and tradable worldwide, often issued by reputable mints or refiners. However, the price per gram or spread is generally slightly higher compared to A-rated products. While still suitable for investment purposes, they are not the most cost-efficient option available.
Label information
A-label

Less information
Products with an A-rating are among the most commonly traded and liquid options available. These coins and bars offer a strong balance between a competitive price per gram and a low spread, making them well-suited for investors who want to acquire physical gold or silver efficiently. Due to their global recognition, they are typically easy to buy and sell.
B-label
Read more
Less information
Een B-label staat voor producten die wereldwijd goed verhandelbaar zijn en afkomstig zijn van erkende munthuizen of raffinaderijen. De prijs per gram of de spread ligt echter doorgaans iets hoger dan bij A-label producten. Daarmee zijn ze nog steeds geschikt als belegging, maar minder optimaal voor wie puur kijkt naar kostenefficiëntie.
C-label

Less information
Products with a C-rating are primarily valued for their collectible characteristics. This may include limited editions, unique designs, or historical significance. As a result, their price is often less closely tied to the underlying metal value. These products are typically chosen by collectors rather than investors focused on efficiency.
