Sovereign (obverse)
The coin is circular and gold-colored. The coin features a raised image of a man with a beard wearing a crown and a robe, sitting on a throne. The man holds a scepter in his right hand and an orb in his left hand. The coin has a border of raised text that reads "Sovereign (obverse)" is not on the coin; it is the title. The text on the coin is in Latin and appears to read "FID DEF MAG BRIT ET HIBER REX F A". The coin is set against a dark gray background. The artist is unknown.
