The 1827 Gold SovereignThe 1827 Gold Sovereign was issued during the reign of King George IV.
King George IV’s Bare Head can be seen on the obverse of the coin, a shield of arms, designed by Jean Baptiste Merlen, is depicted on the reverse.
The sovereign is made of 22 carat gold, and weighs 7.98 grams. It contains 0.2354 ounce of fine gold.
Only 2,266,629 sovereigns were struck in 1827. It is very unlikely that all of these still exist today, as many have been melted down over the last two centuries.Sovereigns issued from 1817 to 1837 are often described as ‘Early King’ sovereigns. King George III, King George IV and King William IV are all depicted on sovereigns minted during these years.
The value of your sovereign will be heavily dependent on the date and condition.
