British gold sovereign coins was initially issued in 1489 to honor the Tudor King Henry VII. With a value of one pound sterling. The face of the earliest sovereign displayed the king majestically seated upon his throne, which is were it got its name. On the reverse of this coin, there was a Tudor double rose that encircled the Royal coat of arms on a shield. 

Gold sovereign coins are still been made today but they were discontinued between 1604-1817 and 1933-1956. During this time other coins were made in place of the sovereign coins. These coins included the guineas, the Laurels and Unites.
