The most trusted coin in the world Minted from 1911 to 1935, the George V design was the last British gold sovereign produced for regular issue. Our George V sovereigns are very well struck with strong, detailed devices and a lovely orange-gold color. The obverse features a portrait of George V, and the reverse depicts the mythical slaying of the dragon by St.George. Sized for trade, British gold sovereigns were produced at seven different mints during the fabled era when “the sun never set on the British Empire.” From Britain to India, Canada to South Africa and Australia, these timeless gold pieces were indeed the most trusted coins in the world because of their pure gold content and secure backing by the British crown. In fact, they were included in the survival kits of American pilots during both World War II and Desert Storm. An inspiring leader George V was the second son of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. A career navy officer until the death of his older brother, Price Albert, in 1890, George succeeded to the throne in 1910 and ruled until 1936. An inspiring leader during World War I, George often visited the front to rally his troops. After the War the British Empire underwent many changes. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa demanded and received the right to self-govern, effectively ending the Empire and establishing the British Commonwealth of Nations. George V’s approach to the throne was unique at this crucial time in history. Removing himself from daily politics, he helped the monarchy evolve into an institution of family values and customs. By the end of George V’s reign, the monarchy represented rather than ruled England. At today’s prices these BU Kings are a steal! Great for sets!
