British gold sovereign “Kings” are perhaps the most trusted and popular gold coin in the world, and Canada-minted Kings are among the scarcest of all sovereigns, especially in PCGS MS-61 condition.
British sovereigns were struck in Canada at the Ottawa mint between 1908 and 1919. No sovereigns were struck in the years 1912 or 1915. The coin features the portrait of King George V. and the dragon on the reverse. The distinctive “C” mintmark can be found on all Canadian sovereigns on the reverse just below the horses hooves on the ground-line just above the date.
Few minted, fewer survive
Befitting the old adage that “the sun never set on the British Empire,” British gold sovereign Kings were minted on five different continents by 1900. Out of the seven different mints worldwide that produced sovereigns, the Canada mint produced by far the fewest. Indeed, the original mintage totals for Canadian sovereigns are miniscule compared to the other mints, and most of its coins were heavily circulated as currency at the time.
Scarce in MS-61
Today, Canada-minted British gold sovereign Kings are scarce in MS-61 condition, and difficult to source in any quantity. When we do locate these special coins, we typically find only a few.
