1976 Queen Elizabeth II Royal Mint Gold Sovereign

The 1976 Queen Elizabeth II Royal Mint Gold Sovereign holds a historic place in modern British numismatics as the very first sovereign issued from the Royal Mint’s purpose-built facility in Llantrisant, South Wales. Struck in 22-carat gold (.9167 fineness), each full sovereign contains 7.322 grams (0.2354 troy ounces) of fine gold within an overall gross weight of 7.98 grams.

The obverse features the famous second coinage portrait (“Decimal Head”) of Queen Elizabeth II by sculptor Arnold Machin, showing the young Queen wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara, encircled by the Latin legend ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA F:D:. The reverse displays Benedetto Pistrucci’s classic masterwork depicting St. George on horseback defeating the dragon, with the 1976 date set in the exergue.

With a mintage of 4,150,000 coins, the 1976 edition is prized both as a notable modern milestone coin and a highly liquid, investment-grade bullion piece. Galaxy Coins offers this authentic 1976 Royal Mint gold sovereign with total confidence in its precious metal purity and mint history.
