As you may have seen from our latest range of sovereigns, this year marks the 50th anniversary of decimalisation in Britain, in 1971. This ended over a thousand years of iconic coinage and designs. However, talk of decimalisation had started long before this. In 1847, a motion was put to Parliament, and the outcome was the creation of the florin.
Our latest release, The 2021 50th Anniversary of Decimalisation Gold Sovereign Range, mixes old and new designs beautifully, creating something truly unique. We spoke to the designer of the reverse designs on this range, Matt Dent, about his inspirations and what he enjoyed most about creating this piece of history.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of decimalisation in Britain, heralding in a new era of coins, and saying goodbye to over a thousand years of iconic designs. In our latest sovereign range, the talented artist Matt Dent has captured the old and the new beautifully. In tribute a tribute to Britain’s decimal fifty pence, these are the world’s first seven-sided sovereigns!
Each sovereign is split down the middle with a pre-decimal design on the left, and the design of a decimal coin complementing it on the right. Here, we take a look at the designs for each coin from the new 2021 50th Anniversary of Decimalisation Gold Sovereign Range.
