Description

This 1864 Great Britain Gold Sovereign is a desirable Victorian issue, struck during the early years of Queen Victoria’s “Young Head” coinage. Certified AU53 by NGC, it displays strong detail across both the portrait and reverse, with light, even wear consistent with its About Uncirculated grade.

The obverse features William Wyon’s iconic Young Head portrait of Queen Victoria, while the reverse showcases Benedetto Pistrucci’s timeless depiction of St George slaying the dragon, one of the most celebrated designs in British numismatics. Struck in 22-carat gold, the sovereign remains one of Britain’s most recognisable and sought-after gold coins.

Graded and encapsulated by NGC for authenticity and long-term protection, this 1864 sovereign offers an excellent combination of historic appeal, attractive preservation, and investment-quality gold content, making it a fantastic addition to any British or Victorian coin collection.
