A new denomination in the gold sovereign series. This is the second year the gold quarter sovereign has ever been issued, apart from two patterns produced in 1853.
Available in proof and uncirculated, both versions are available now.
After the special one-year-only design in 2005, the sovereign series reverted to the traditional reverse design of St. George slaying the dragon.
Buying from us you also get the benefit of buying from expert professional numismatists who have been in the business for over 40 years. While we appreciate the Royal Mint have existed for longer, we know more about sovereigns than they do!
Quarter Sovereigns We are expecting our first delivery of the 2011 quarter sovereigns in stock in November 2010.
Changes!
The reverse dies for sovereigns, half sovereigns, double sovereigns and quintuple sovereigns were remastered and recut in 2007. See our 2007 sovereigns
page of our Gold Sovereigns website for more information.
For 2010, we are told that the reverse dies will revert to dies produced from masters in the Royal Mint Museum, and possibly worked on by Benedetto Pistrucci himself.
The New Old Thing It's not often that something so new is so old. We believe the reversion to original, or near original masters should provide better definition.
