Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Sovereign - George V (Pattern) 1928 from South Africa made of Bronze is that it was never officially released into circulation. It was minted as a pattern coin, which means it was created as a trial or sample coin, and only a limited number were produced. This makes it a rare and unique coin among collectors.
