This 2013 India Gold Sovereign is the first Gold Sovereign minted in India in nearly 100 years! Struck in 7.98 grams of 22-karat gold, the 2013 India Sovereign shows the same design of Saint George slaying the dragon as the last Gold Sovereign struck in India in 1918. And, it bears the same "I" for India mintmark! This masterful Gold Sovereign is struck from dies prepared in England and under the direct supervision of the Royal Mint staff. India is one of the largest gold markets in the world, and this first-in-nearly-100-years India Gold Sovereign is completely sold out in India. The dies will never be used again, so future collectors in India and the U.S. will have to hunt down these special Gold Sovereigns down once our rapidly diminishing supply is gone.
