The Great Recoinage Act of 1816 saw the reintroduction of a gold sovereign coin in England based on the historical English sovereign of the 15th century. From 1817 to 1819, the Gold Sovereign was issued only as pattern or proof strikes. In 1820, the Gold Sovereign entered regular production as a circulation coin and remained that way until World War I.

Queen Elizabeth II is depicted on the obverse of the 2020 Great Britain Double Sovereign Gold Coin. this is the fifth-generation effigy of the Queen during her long reign. Created in 2015 by Jody Clark, it depicts the Queen at the age of 89 wearing the George IV State Diadem Crown. This crown was commissioned by George IV in the first year of his reign and is worn only during the State Opening of Parliament.
Reverse
St. George is the patron saint of England and is featured here in this design from Benedetto Pistrucci on horseback as he slays the dragon. This design was created in 1817 and featured on the sovereign through World War I. It now features on the modern bullion version of the Gold Sovereign and these new Double Sovereigns.
