1838 GOLD SOVEREIGN ( VF )

This 1838 Gold Sovereign in Very Fine condition represents an early issue from Queen Victoria's reign, marking the commencement of her historic coinage era. The piece displays well-preserved detail with the young queen's profile remaining sharply defined and the reverse St. George composition showing commendable clarity. Moderate circulation wear is evident on the highest relief areas, whilst the overall presentation remains visually appealing. Please note: this sovereign has been cleaned, a factor reflected in its grading and valuation. Despite this conservation history, it remains a worthwhile addition for collectors seeking accessible examples from Victoria's inaugural coinage period.
