The 1817 to 1820 Gold Sovereigns feature King George III and are a rare and valuable find given that these coins are well-over 200 years old. These designs command some of the higher premiums for British Sovereigns given that their availability is much lower than eralier dated Sovereign coins
During 1817 to 1820, Gold Sovereigns were used as legal tender which means that many of the coins that reach the market were in general circulation causing some heavy wear on the coins. Any Sovereign from this period in excellent condition commands a premium in the market. Any coins graded as mint state will command significant premiums
The 1817 Gold Sovereign was the first to feature the St George and Dragon design. Its cartwheeling garter was the inspiration for the special-year 2017 Sovereign. Tudor Sovereigns featured the rose on the reverse rather than St George
Prices for the 1817, 1819 and 1820 Gold Sovereigns vary significantly according to condition. Unfortunately many coins have been polished at some point whilst others are seen with rim repairs from previous jewellery mounts
George III Gold Sovereigns are usually seen in heavily circulated condition with significant wear on the high points. This type is also often seen with damage to the rim where the coin was once mounted in jewellery
The’ first ever Gold Sovereign was struck in 1489 but the first modern-day Sovereign was struck by the Royal Mint in 1817. George III only featured on the Sovereign for three-years with 1820 being the final year of this type
