The Gold Sovereign Series Book by Steve Hill (2024 edition)
First published in 2017, The Gold Sovereign by Michael Marsh, edited by Steve Hill, has become the essential reference for serious Gold Sovereign collectors. Renowned for its thorough research and authoritative detail, this Third Edition traces the Sovereign from its earliest origins under Henry VII through the hammered issues of James I, and beyond, covering every major reign and series.
Building on the Second Edition—which added new sovereigns, fractionals, and for the first time the Five and Two Sovereign series from 1817 onwards—this latest edition now documents the complete Gold Sovereign series in every size, including rarities and variants collectors prize most.
Packed with detailed illustrations, historical context, and expert analysis, this is more than a reference—it is the ultimate guide for collectors who want to understand, identify, and invest in the world’s most celebrated gold coin: the Sovereign.
