1912 Great Britain Gold Sovereign George V BU
In 1912, the Royal Mint in London struck this historic gold coin, which represents a classic era of British numismatics. Containing 0.2354 troy ounces of actual gold content, this sovereign is preserved in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, allowing the finer details of its century-old artistry to shine through clearly. The obverse of the coin displays the left-facing portrait of King George V, a depiction that defined British coinage during his reign. The crispness of the strike highlights the regal features of the monarch, surrounded by his royal title in Latin script. On the reverse, the coin features the highly acclaimed masterpiece by artist Benedetto Pistrucci. This dynamic scene depicts Saint George on horseback, brandishing a sword to slay a mythical dragon. The year 1912 is anchored at the bottom of the design, marking a specific moment in the long, rich lineage of the sovereign series.
