1910 Edward VII gold Sovereign, struck at the Ottawa, Canada mint (S 3970, Marsh 185). The Ottawa branch of the Royal Mint struck its first Sovereigns in 1908. Like all Sovereign issues from this branch mint, the 1910 mintage was notably low, with only 28,020 coins struck. As the 1910 issue was the final Canadian Sovereign struck with a portrait of King Edward VII, these coins have a special historical importance to collectors. George William de Saulles designed the distinctive uncrowned bust used on these scarce 22-carat gold coins. This is paired with a reverse that is instantly recognisable to Sovereign collectors: Benedetto Pistrucci's depiction of St George on a rearing horse, pointing his sword at a prone dragon. A tiny 'C' mintmark to the ground above the date identifies this coin as a product of the Ottawa mint and one of the most sought-after in the Edward VII series.

George William De Saulles Royal Portrait

All Edward VII gold Sovereigns, Canadian issues included, feature an uncrowned, right-facing portrait by George William de Saulles with a legend around which reads 'EDWARDVS VII D: G: BRITT: OMN: REX F: D: IND: IMP:' and the artist's initials below the truncation of the neck.

Saint George And The Dragon Reverse

Benedetto Pistrucci's classic coinage engraving of the legend of England's patron saint - St George - is shown on the reverse of this 1910 coin, originally designed for the first milled Sovereigns of 1817. The date (1910) appears below with a tiny 'C' mintmark above.

22-Carat Gold Branch Mint Sovereigns

Canada mint Sovereigns are struck to the same specifications as other London and branch mint Sovereigns in 22-carat gold, offering 0.2354 troy ounces of pure gold each.

How Many 1910-C Sovereigns Were Minted?

The mintages for early Ottawa mint Sovereigns were notably low, with only 28,020 struck in 1910, compared to millions minted at other Royal Mint branches in the same year.
