New Gold Coin and its Royal Name in English History
The article explains the launch of the new gold coin and the revived Sovereign naming tradition. It traces the history of gold coinage from Henry VII to Elizabeth I, noting how the term Sovereign arose from the kingly type and how public use shaped the name. It links the Guinea origin of the later term to popular association and discusses decimal reform prompting the 20 shilling piece’s naming.
