Detailed description
Sovereign 2012 - Diamond Jubilee Elizabeth II.
An exclusive Sovereign gold coin minted by The Royal Mint in 2012 to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II.
The Sovereign gold coin is prized by collectors for its design and craftsmanship. Benedetto Pistruccio's iconic St George with Dragon motif has only been replaced on special occasions in the coin's history, in 1989, 2002, 2005, 2012 and 2022. The fourth occasion was the celebration of the 60th anniversary of Elizabeth II's reign. It is for this reason that this Jubilee coin can be considered a necessary part of the Sovereign's numismatic collection.
The coin's reverse design was created by British sculptor Paul Day exclusively for the 2012 Sovereign issue. It features a newly redesigned motif of St. George slaying a dragon with a spear. The design includes the year of issue "2012" and the artist's initials "PJD".
Gold Sovereigns were first struck between 1817 and 1917, following a decision by the British government in 1816 to stabilise the currency of Great Britain in light of the economic and economic difficulties caused by the impact of the Napoleonic Wars. Sovereigns were reissued in 1925 and have continued to be minted since 1957. They have been issued in bullion form for the investment metals market since 1979. The coin takes its name (translated as Sovereign) from the English Gold Sovereign of 1489-1604, the obverse of which depicted the Sovereign seated on the throne.
The obverse shows the fourth coin portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and the initials of the artist Ian Rank-Brodley. The portrait is accompanied by the inscriptions 'ELIZABETH II DEI GRA REGINA FID DEF'.
