Great Britain Gold (1) Sovereign Edward VII, 1907
Background: Gold Sovereigns of King Edward VII are dated 1902-1910 and are not encountered nearly as often as succeeding monarchs (George V or Elizabeth II). Each coin contains .2354 oz. AGW (Actual Gold Weight) making the Gold British Sovereign an attractive coin ideal for the fractional Gold bullion investor. The Sovereigns bearing his likeness will be dated from 1902-1910, and are a challenge to find.
Obverse: Features a rightward facing handsome bust portrait of King Edward VII. The main device is surrounded by inscriptions in Latin "EDWARDS VII D: G: BRITT: OMN: REX F: D: IND: IMP:" which translates to "Edward VII by the Grace of God, King of all the Britains, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India." A design by G.W.De Saulles.
Reverse: Features the iconic design by Italian engraver Benedetto Pistrucci of St. George mounted on horseback slaying a dragon. Inscriptions: Year of Mintage, Initials of Designer "B.P."
