Commentary


Le Souverain est une monnaie introduite en 1489 par Henri VII d’Angleterre. La production a cessée en 1604 au profit des “Laurel”, “Unite” et Guinée. La forme actuelle a été réintroduite en 1817 avec le célèbre revers à l’effigie de St Georges du graveur Benedetto Pistrucci.
On estimait que la durée de vie d’une monnaie de circulation était 15 ans.
En 1891, les monnaies frappées avant 1837 ont été rappelées pour échange. Avec l’or collecté, ont été frappées 13.680.486 demi-souverains en 1892 et 10.846.741 en 1900..

Historical background


GREAT-BRITAIN - VICTORIA

(20/06/1837-22/01/1901)

Victoria (1819-1901) was the daughter of Edward, Duke of Kent, and granddaughter of George III. She succeeded her uncle Guillaume IV in 1837 and married her cousin Albert, Prince of Saxe-Coburg in 1840, against her mother's advice. She had nine children by him but became a widow in 1861. While respecting the rules of the parliamentary system, she tried to impose her views in the field of foreign affairs. Her favourite, Disraeli, had her given the title of Empress of India in 1876. Respected and loved, active and authoritarian, Victoria appeared in her time as the symbol of imperialist England. His reign marks the height of British power.
