The present Gold Sovereign was released from 1893 to 1901. It depicts the iconic bust of Queen Victoria who reigned from 1837 to 1901, whose long hegemony is identified with the zenith of the British Empire.

This coin is the fourth type of the sovereign with the aged portrait of the queen on the obverse, and the archetypal representation of Benedetto Pistrucci depicting St. George killing the dragon on the reverse. Nowadays, this rare coin in gold 916,6º is a priceless collectible piece.
