Struck in 1910, the final year of the reign of King Edward VII, this Gold Sovereign captures a short yet important chapter in British royal and numismatic history. Presented in Very Fine+ condition, it retains pleasing detail and the distinctive character expected of an original circulating coin more than a century old.

The obverse features the uncrowned portrait of King Edward VII facing right, created by George William de Saulles. Surrounded by the Latin royal titles of the King, the elegant portrait represents the only definitive Sovereign effigy used during Edward VII’s reign, which lasted from 1901 to 1910.

On the reverse, Benedetto Pistrucci’s celebrated design of St George slaying the dragon appears in its enduring classical form. First introduced on the Sovereign in 1817, this powerful image has become one of the most admired designs in British coinage, bringing movement, strength and drama to the gold coin.

Edward VII succeeded to the throne after the long reign of his mother, Queen Victoria. As his Sovereigns were struck for only nine years, collectors can build a complete date run spanning 1902 to 1910, with this final-year issue serving as a natural and meaningful conclusion to the series.

Struck in 22 carat gold to the traditional Sovereign standard, the 1910 Edward VII Sovereign weighs 7.98g and measures 22.05mm in diameter. Its final-year date, distinguished royal portrait and classic reverse make it a compelling addition for collectors of historic Sovereigns and British monarch coinage.
