1929 Gold Sovereigns
We keep 1929 sovereigns in stock for immediate delivery. We try to maintain a stock of all dates of gold sovereigns, but 1929 was the last date for George V, and will be in demand during 2002 for 70th birthday gifts.
Small Head
1929 sovereigns have a new smaller head portrait of King George V. The earlier portrait had been used from 1911 to 1928 inclusive, the small head portrait was used from 1929 to 1932 inclusive, making these quite desirable from a type collectors point of view.
Redesigned Reverse
It's easy to overlook the fact that the reverse was also substantially different on these new, smaller head, sovereigns. The St. George and dragon design was re-engraved and smaller. It is worthwhile and interesting to compare both reverse types next to each other.
Pretoria Mint South Africa
Only the Melbourne and Perth Mints in Australia and the Pretoria Mint in South Africa issued sovereigns in 1929, The mintmark is visible on the ground above the centre of the date.
