George I Coins

King George I Coins from the British Monarchs collection.

The First Hanoverian King of Britain.

The third coin in The British Monarchs Collection continues the series, featuring a remastered portrait from the original coins of the first Hanoverian King of Britain, George I.

Created by our team The Royal Mint expert engravers, the remastered portrait of the king honours early Georgian coinage.

Struck in extremely limited numbers, each coin comes with a booklet about George I that also explores how our team reproduced his portrait for this collection.
