Gold Sovereign Series - New Designs for the Golden Jubilee
Shield Reverse
The shield reverse was last used for Queen Victoria from 1838 to 1887 inclusive. This was Victoria's golden jubilee year, and the design of the sovereigns was changed in that year. In fact for the date 1887. It is perhaps fitting, then, that the Royal Mint appear to have chosen not only to change the sovereign design for our own Queen's golden jubilee, but also to revert back to the shield design.
Issue Limits For 2001, the issue limit was only 1,500. The issue limits for 2002 have been increased considerably to 5,000 because of the Golden Jubilee celebrations.
