The UK 1820 George III Gold Sovereign

A Key Piece of Regency History

Mark the final chapter of a remarkable reign with the 1820 George III Sovereign—the last Sovereign issued under Britain's longest-reigning king. Struck in the year of his death, this gold sovereign is a true numismatic treasure.

  • Obverse: Features the iconic laureate portrait of King George III.

  • Reverse: Showcases St. George slaying the dragon—designed by Benedetto Pistrucci.

The last Sovereign issued during George III's reign, this particular reverse was not used again for 197 years until it re-emerged on the 2017 Proof Sovereign. 

Another layer of collectability comes from the fact that despite dying in the January of 1820, King George III's portrait was still used on the coinage for the remainder of that year.
