Description

This year is a memorable anniversary for one of the greatest monarchs in British history, 180 years since the coronation of Queen Victoria in 1838. By the time Queen Victoria’s sovereignty ended, after a then record 63 years on the throne, not only did Victoria reign over the largest empire the world had ever known, that included a quarter of the world’s population, but her coinage had also become one of the most unique in British history. Queen Victoria was the first to issue £5 gold coins for general circulation, first to issue a gold Sovereign to feature both George and the Dragon and Shield reverses, and she issued new coins such as the famous ‘Godless’ Silver Florins and the ‘Barmaids Grief’, the Double Florin.
The standout moment however, occurred in 1887 when to celebrate her Golden Jubilee, a new portrait was designed to grace Victoria’s coinage. The new effigy of the Queen, the Jubilee head portrait, was produced by the skilled engraver Joseph Edgar Boehm.
At the forefront of this portrait change was the trusted Sovereign, the coin that built the Empire, and as a loyal customer of The Royal Mint, you can now add the original 1887 Double Gold Sovereign in Very Fine condition to your collection.
  • First Double Sovereign to be struck for circulation since 1823
  • Year-dated 1887
  • ‘Jubilee Head’ obverse portrait with the classic Pistrucci St George and the Dragon on the reverse
  • A Double-Sovereign in 22 carat gold
  • An original, circulated coin in ‘Good’ condition

Great honest advice

Great honest advice. I have used Bullion House over the past year and have found them to be professional and polite.

Small purchase arrived super quick

I ordered something small through the website as I was hesitant to make a big purchase as I haven’t used this company before, but the price was good for what I wanted so I thought I would try it out. The order arrived safely. They took the time to answer any questions I had, which I appreciated. I would definitely purchase from them again.

Robert was great

Robert was great. The service was first class. They managed to find an elusive coin for me within a few weeks. Delivery of coins is fast and secure. Would definitely recommend.

Bullion House are just super to deal with.

I just wanted to say that the guys at Bullion House are easy to deal with, informed, and very helpful. So, I am very, very pleased. Their service delivery blew me away. I recently ordered some Sovereigns which I expected to take a few days to arrive but the very next morning they turned up, not bad for pm order.

I will of course continue to rely on them for my bullion investments.


First purchase from this dealer

First purchase from this dealer. Coin arrived promptly in good condition with a follow-up phone call to make sure all was well and to chat about my interests/ investment aims. Would happily use again
