1887 Gold Sovereign – Queen Victoria Jubilee Head – London Mint – .2354 oz Gold
This 1887 Gold Sovereign was struck at the London Mint and features the Jubilee Head portrait of Queen Victoria, introduced to commemorate her Golden Jubilee that year. The obverse, by Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm, depicts Victoria wearing a small crown and veil. The reverse presents Benedetto Pistrucci’s timeless design of St. George slaying the dragon, with the date 1887 in the exergue.
This coin marks the inaugural year of the Jubilee Head series and is struck in 22 carat gold with an actual gold weight of 0.2354 troy ounces. The sovereign served as both circulating currency and a key trade coin across the British Empire, offering a blend of intrinsic bullion value and historic appeal.
