1959 Gold Sovereigns
We keep 1959 sovereigns in stock for immediate delivery.
Not every date exists for gold sovereigns. In fact gold sovereigns were not issued for circulation after 1932, although the Royal Mint resumed production in 1957 partly to meet world demand for gold bullion coins.
The only dates minted between 1932 and decimalisation were 1957 to 1959, and then 1962 to 1968. these dates all bear the first portrait of Queen Elizabeth II as used on almost all pre-decimal coins, with the familiar St. George & Dragon design on the reverse.
Of these dates 1959 is the most difficult to find. Because of this, we ensure that we keep extra stocks of them.
Designs & Description
All Elizabeth II sovereigns from 1959 to 1968 share the same obverse (head) design, the young first portrait of the queen, which was used from 1953 to 1967. The reverse is the familiar St. George & Dragon design originally engraved by Benedetto Pistrucci about 1817.
