The 1925 Gold Sovereign - London Mint - George VThe reverse shows Pistrucci's George and the Dragon. It was the first London Sovereign minted since 1917 and the last London Sovereign of George V. However, most of the Commonwealth mints produced sovereigns for this year and several other years.
Note on Restrikes: 1925 George V dies were used to mint sovereigns in the reign of George VI. Sovereigns were minted in 1949 (138,000), 1950 (318,000) and 1951 (430,000), all dated 1925. Some say you can tell the difference as the restrikes have a more pronounced rim.
As most of the pre-war sovereigns were melted into gold bars for the war effort, if you have a 1925 sovereign it is more likely to be a restrike even though the mintages were much lower.No proof sovereigns were issued in 1925.
