The 1821 Great Britain Gold Sovereign represents the early years of Britain’s modern sovereign series, introduced in 1817 as part of the post-Napoleonic monetary reform. Struck in gold and bearing the laureate portrait of King George III, this issue reflects the final phase of his long reign and the stabilization of Britain’s gold standard in the early nineteenth century.
The reverse features Benedetto Pistrucci’s iconic depiction of St. George slaying the dragon, a neoclassical design that quickly became one of the most enduring and celebrated motifs in British numismatics. By 1821, the sovereign had firmly established itself as a trusted gold coin in domestic circulation and international trade.
Certified by NGC in About Uncirculated 55 condition, this example shows moderate wear consistent with limited circulation while retaining strong design detail. NGC reports 25 examples graded AU55, with 132 specimens certified in finer condition, underscoring both the survivability of the issue and the appeal of problem-free, lightly circulated early sovereigns.
