1899 Great Britain Gold Sovereign Victoria Veil Head

I got myself another gold sovereign.

It is a Victoria, but this time, Victoria is much older in age. As always, into an airtite it goes!

1899 Great Britain Gold Sovereign Victoria Matron

In her final years as Queen of England, Victoria I is depicted in this veil head design as an aged woman. These gold sovereigns were in use from 1893 to 1901, the year she passed away.

St. George and the dragon are depicted on the back of all Victorian-era Great Britain Gold Sovereigns minted after 1887. The Benedetto Pistrucci illustration was produced in 1817 for King George III's first reissue of a gold sovereign.

King Henry VII first issued gold sovereigns in 1489, and they were used as money across the British Empire. The sovereigns were popular because of their high gold content, intricate designs, and importance in British coinage. The designs of gold sovereigns have changed over the years, with Saint George defeating a dragon by Benedetto Pistrucci being the most well-known.

These are my Great Britain Gold Sovereign coins.
