1817 Great Britain Sovereign AU50

Description

This is an 1817 Gold Sovereign from Great Britain, certified and encapsulated by Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) with a grade of AU50. The AU50 designation indicates light overall wear, while major design elements remain bold and clearly defined.

Struck during the reign of George III, the obverse features the laureate portrait of the king facing right, with strong facial detail and legible surrounding legend. The reverse carries the iconic St. George and the Dragon design by Benedetto Pistrucci, a cornerstone of British sovereign coinage.

The 1817 sovereign is part of the first years of the modern sovereign series, making it especially attractive to collectors. With its early date, historic significance, and solid AU50 grade, this coin offers an excellent balance of affordability, gold content, and classic British design—ideal for collectors of early sovereigns or PCGS-certified world gold.
