History of the Gold Sovereign

Since 650 AD, several mints across Great Britain have produced coins. By 1540, most of these mints closed, leaving the Royal Mint as the only mint in operation.

In 1663, Great Britain moved away from hand-striking coins and introduced new manufacturing processes. The use of screw presses and horse-drawn rolling mills enabled the production of “milled coins.”
