The British Sovereign coin was first introduced in 1489 during the reign of Henry VII, valued at one pound sterling and showcasing the monarchs portrait on the obverse with a Tudor rose on the reverse. The modern version emerged in 1817 under George III, featuring Benedetto Pistruccis St. George and the Dragon design, a timeless image still in use today. Now, The Royal Mint has issued its first-ever Silver Sovereign. Right now, 2025 Proof Great Britain Sovereign Silver Coins are available from Provident Metals.
