Since the Geat Recoinage law of 1816 which saw the reintroduction of the gold Sovereign to the currency in 1817, and the earlier development of mechanised coin presses, the Sovereign has had milled edges.
The Sovereign had earlier been discontinued in 1604, when it was a hammered coin and had smooth edges.
More recently, the 1937 Sovereign had a plain edge.
Milled edges on a coin make it that little bit more difficult to counterfeit.
