Description

The 1925 London Mint Gold Sovereign features King George V's bare-head portrait facing left by Bertram Mackennal and Benedetto Pistrucci's St George and the dragon reverse. It has no branch-mint mark. Sovereign production returned to London in 1925 during Britain's restoration of the gold standard. The Royal Mint later struck further Sovereigns using the same 1925 date in 1949, 1951 and 1952. All are dated 1925, so collectors distinguish original and later strikes through specialist knowledge, condition and provenance rather than the date alone. Struck as a full Sovereign in 22-carat gold, the coin weighs approximately 7.98 grams, contains about 7.32 grams of fine gold and has a nominal diameter of 22.05 mm. George V Sovereigns retained the established Sovereign specification while production shifted increasingly to branch mints during and after the First World War. Collectors should note that 1925 London Sovereigns may originate from the original issue or the later official production. Condition, authenticity, strike, surfaces and provenance can materially affect desirability and value.
