1979 Queen Elizabeth II Royal Mint Gold Sovereign

The 1979 Queen Elizabeth II Royal Mint Gold Sovereign holds exceptional importance in modern numismatics, marking the historic year the Royal Mint officially launched annual uncirculated bullion Sovereign releases alongside dedicated proof issues. Struck in 22-carat gold (.9167 fineness), each full sovereign contains 7.322 grams (0.2354 troy ounces) of fine gold within its standard 7.98-gram gross weight.

The obverse features the famous second coinage portrait (“Decimal Head”) of Queen Elizabeth II by Arnold Machin, depicting Her Majesty in profile wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara. Surrounding the effigy is the Latin inscription ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA F:D:. The reverse displays Benedetto Pistrucci’s classic Saint George and the Dragon motif, with the 1979 date positioned in the exergue.
