1918-I India Gold Sovereign George V BU
In 1918, a unique chapter in numismatic history was written at the Bombay Mint in India. For that single year, this facility produced a special run of gold sovereigns, distinguished by a tiny 'I' mint mark. Struck in 0.9167 fine gold, each coin contains 0.2354 troy ounces of precious metal and represents a fascinating intersection of British and Indian minting history during a time of global transition. The obverse of the coin displays the portrait of King George V, facing left. The legendary artistry of Benedetto Pistrucci graces the reverse, depicting the dramatic scene of Saint George on horseback, rearing over a fallen dragon. The year 1918 is clearly struck at the bottom of the design, anchoring this brilliant uncirculated specimen to its precise moment in history.
