The 1918 Gold Sovereign. India Mint.
The 1918 Indian Sovereign depicts Benedetto Pistrucci’s famous portrayal of St George slaying the dragon can be seen on the reverse of the coin. A small ‘I’ just above the date indicates the sovereign was produced in Bombay, India.
This was the only year a sovereign was struck in India. This was because in 1914 Germany were targeting boats carrying gold from South Africa to London, so gold was secretly shipped to India so they could make the sovereigns. As WWI ended in 1918 sovereign, this covert operation was no longer required so 1918 was the only year they did this.
King George V’s portrait can be seen on the obverse of the coin.
1,294,352 sovereigns were struck at the Bombay Mint in 1918.
