The weight and quality of the 22 carat gold of the Indian Sovereign (“Ginni”) is verified at the Trial of the Pyx, a rigorous independent trial dating back to at least 1282 AD.
This exclusive product is the only authentic Sovereign in India. These coins feature Benedetto Pistrucci’s design of St. George slaying the dragon, regarded as a masterpiece of numismatics art and an icon of strength and dependability.
The Sovereign coin minted in India by MMTC-PAMP is distinguished by the 'I’ mintmark above its year of manufacture. This has long-term benefit to the consumer, who is assured of the integrity of the Sovereign brand. Exquisitely crafted with milled edges and great attention to detail, the 2018 Sovereign is precious and timeless, and held in high esteem by collectors all over the world.
Struck in 916.7 Fine purity gold, the Sovereign comes in bespoke display packaging, ideal for gifting and a joy to behold. This year, the packaging has been updated for a more sedate and classical look in line with the Royal Mint’s own revamp, with a chestnut-hued display box.
