From the Eliasberg sale... I wanted something from the collection, and both sides have among my favorite obverse/reverse designs. Photos are 18 years old... I'd do better now.
Very nice!

Sold all of mine in a recent GC auction.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
How about the first modern sovereign? There were coins by that name during the hammered coinage period, but they are unaffordable.
Here's an 1817 sovereign. This was part of the very important monetary reforms that England enacted after the Napoleonic Wars. This piece is graded MS-63.
