Comment
Struck with a special garter design to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the modern sovereign, this piece features Pistrucci’s original 1817 ‘garter’ design for the first time since 1820, with the date appearing on the obverse for the first time since 1887. This was the first time a piedfort sovereign had been struck and was issued individually.© The Royal Mint, 2017
