Gold has played a significant role in British coinage throughout the centuries. It wasn’t until the reign of Edward III that a gold coin was first established in the British coinage, with several gold denominations appearing in the following centuries, through to the modern Sovereign which first appeared in the reign of George III.
The History of Britain’s Gold Coinage Six-Coin Set brings together six historic fractional coins produced throughout the reigns of several monarchs. These include a quarter-noble, half-angel, half-unite, quarter-laurel, half-guinea and a modern Half-Sovereign.
