Historic Highlight
1888 Sovereign. Issued in the birth year of John Logie Baird.
Known the world over as ‘The Father of Television’, John Logie Baird’s contributions to the world of technology cannot be understated.
His groundbreaking exploration into moving images paved the way for a revolutionary invention that changed the world as we know it and his impact is still being felt to this very day.
This coin was minted in the same year that John Logie Baird was born and would have been used in circulation at that time.
The obverse of the coin is a portrait of Queen Victoria created by Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm who depicted The Queen with a small crown. It would become known as the 'Jubilee head'.
The reverse features Benedetto Pistrucci's timeless masterpiece, a depiction of St George and the dragon, which was created for the new gold Sovereign of 1817.
