Commentary

Le Souverain est une monnaie introduite en 1489 par Henri VII d’Angleterre. La production a cessée en 1604 au profit des “Laurel”, “Unite” et Guinée. La forme actuelle a été réintroduite en 1817 avec le célèbre revers à l’effigie de St Georges du graveur Benedetto Pistrucci.
On estimait que la durée de vie d’une monnaie de circulation était 15 ans.
En 1891, les monnaies frappées avant 1837 ont été rappelées pour échange. Avec l’or collecté, ont été frappées 13.680.486 demi-souverains en 1892 et 10.846.741 en 1900..
