| Reverse description | The Crowned Royal Shield of Arms is centrally displayed, superimposed over a double Tudor rose, evoking the dynastic symbolism of the original sovereign coinage instituted under Henry VII in 1489. The shield bears the quartered arms of England, Scotland, and Ireland, surmounted by the Imperial State Crown. A commemorative legend in uncial-style Latin characters encircles the design, recording the 500th anniversary of the gold sovereign and citing the dates 1489 and 1989. |
