Description
The 2010 Full Sovereign is a notable representation of British coinage, reflecting the timeless elegance and meticulous craftsmanship for which the Sovereign series is celebrated. Minted by the Royal Mint, this edition features the revered effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, designed by the talented engraver Ian Rank-Broadley. The obverse inscription, “ELIZABETH II” and “DEI GRACIA REGINA FID. DEF,” signifies her role as the defender of faith and the legal tender status of the coin. On the reverse side, the iconic image of Saint George and the Dragon, created by Benedetto Pistrucci, captures the legendary moment of Saint George’s victory, symbolising valour and national pride. Accompanying this powerful design is the year “2010,” establishing its place in British numismatics. Struck in 22-carat gold (91.67% pure), the Full Sovereign is not only an investment in precious metal but also serves as a remarkable piece of history, cherished by collectors for its artistry and connection to Britain’s rich heritage.
