The first of Britain's Hanovarian kings, King George I was born in Hanover, Germany, in 1660. He became king at the age of 54 and was instantly unpopular. He couldn't speak English, he'd locked up his wife and he brought two greedy mistresses with him to England. George I's reign is perhaps most remembered for the South Sea Bubble and its subsequent bubble burst, which left many people financially devastated. The king relied on Robert Walpole to get him out of the mess, earning Walpole the position of Britain's first prime minister. George died in 1727, leaving the throne to his son, George II.

Yes, and we guarantee it. We are a member of the BNTA (The British Numismatic Trade Association) and all our coins are checked for their authenticity.
Although collectors and investors often worry about counterfeits, it's actually very hard to convincingly fake a gold coin. Gold is extremely dense and to use another metal and gold-plate it would result in a coin that is under-weight, over-diameter or half-again as thick, something that would be spotted very easily by an expert. You can buy from us 100% worry free.
