The 1976 Gold Sovereign

The 1976 sovereign depicts Benedetto Pistrucci’s famous portrayal of St George slaying the dragon on the reverse of the coin.

It was the first gold sovereign to be minted at the Royal Mint's new premises at Llantrisant, Wales. Previously, sovereigns were minted at the Tower Hill mint in London.

The sovereign is made of 22 carat gold, and weighs 7.98 grams. It contains 0.2354 ounce of fine gold.

Queen Elizabeth II’s portrait can be seen on the obverse of the coin, designed by Arnold Machin.

4,150,000 sovereigns were struck in 1976.


There was a VIP Proof FDC issued in 1976 but is very rare.
