Early gold Sovereign of King George III dated 1820: the last to be issued by this monarch (S 3785C, Marsh 4 - Scarce). George passed away in January 1820, though coins with his image continued to be struck through the first year of his son, George IV's reign. The obverse of this coin shows the right-facing laureate bust of George III with the date (1820) below and the words 'GEORGIUS III D: G: BRITANNIAR: REX: F:D:' around. The reverse shows Benedetto Pistrucci's classic St George and the dragon design with England's patron saint holding a broken spear. The lettering on the garter that surrounds the design reads 'HONI · SOIT · QUI · MAL · Y · PENSE'. Some 2,101,994 gold Sovereigns were issued in this year. You will receive the Sovereign shown in the photos on this page, which has been graded Fine by our numismatists.
