Celebrating George III with a Royal Cypher Mint Mark

Two hundred years ago, the first modern Five-Sovereign Piece was struck, after a remarkable reign came to a close.

George III was one of Britain’s longest reigning and most fascinating monarchs, ruling during a time of great progress and change in his own country and across the world. Taking his duties as king very seriously, George III strove for unity in politics, progress in science and refinement in culture.

In 2020 The Royal Mint honours the life and legacy of George III, with a special edition of The Five-Sovereign Piece – the largest member of The Sovereign family. For one year only, a unique royal cypher mint mark will appear alongside Benedetto Pistrucci’s classic St George and the dragon design.
