Aunque el primer sovereing, soberano de oro británico, se emitió en 1489 con la imagen de Enrique VII sentado en su trono, las acuñaciones de los soberanos de oro modernos se iniciaron en 1817, bajo el reinado de George III. Desde entonces se emitieron estas monedas con carácter circulatorio, hasta convertirse en bullion o moneda de inversión a partir de 1979 cuando la British Royal Mint decidió la acuñación de estas piezas dirigidas a coleccionistas e inversores.

What’s Wrong?
It is dishonest and unethical to pirate and steal other people’s work by using high quality copyright photographs without the owner’s consent. We can partially understand why they do it; it is quick and easy (but then so is robbing people).
