Buy Queen Victoria Young Head St George Gold Sovereigns

These Sovereigns, known as the Queen Victoria Young Head St George Reverse, feature a young bust of Queen Victoria with a braid in her hair on the obverse and St George slaying the Dragon on the Reverse. These sovereigns were produced from 1871 to 1887.
