Collectable carded gold bullion 2010 'full' Sovereign. This investment coin comes in the original card presentation box from The Royal Mint, with the coin protectively encapsulated to preserve the uncirculated finish. 2010 Sovereigns are struck in 7.98 grams of 22-carat gold and offer 0.2354 troy ounces of pure precious metal. These coins feature the instantly recognisable image of Saint George slaying a dragon on the reverse, a design created in the early 19th century by Italian artist Benedetto Pistrucci. This is paired with Ian Rank-Broadley's definitive coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, seen on the obverse. Records show that 243,986 gold Sovereigns were struck by The Royal Mint in 2010, but boxed bullion coins like this one can be difficult to find.
