Sovereign - 1974 to 2022 - Price Guide
In 1964 Arnold Machin was chosen to design the effigy of Queen Elizabeth II. His portrait is the most reproduced work of art in history, with over 320 reproductions. Her Majesty has been asked on several occasions if she would approve a replacement to Arnold Machin's design, but has always refused, stating a replacement would have to be a work of real quality.
Machin's coinage portrait of Her Majesty first appeared on the change in our pockets in 1968, but it would take 6 years before it was used on a Sovereign that the public could own.
No Sovereigns were struck in the first few years of the decimal era and in 1974, Machin's coinage portrait graced the chief coin of the world for the first time. Interestingly, a 1974 Sovereign was the very last coin to be struck at the premises in Tower Hill, London, before production moved to the 35-acre site in Llantrisant, South Wales.
