    The coin features a reimagining of one of the most important gold coins ever issued – the Spade Guinea. That coin became the foundation of the British Empire’s growth during the 17th and 18th centuries. It made way for the Sovereign in 1817, so it’s only fitting that The East India Company uses it on their 2020 Sovereign.

The Gold Sovereign – A Piece of History.

The UK Gold Sovereign is an internationally recognised coin which was first struck in 1489.

During the 1800’s, Sovereigns were legal tender in more than 20 countries and were minted in Canada, Australia and India to satisfy demand across the British Empire.

Struck from 916.7 purity, 22 Carat gold, modern Sovereigns feature the iconic St. George and the Dragon motif designed by Benedetto Pistrucci in 1817.

Why Buy Gold Sovereigns Online?

By working as online Bullion Dealers we reduce our operating cost which enables us to pass on savings to our customers in the form of really competitive prices.

Gold Sovereign coins are an excellent choice as they are exempt from VAT and also free from Capital Gains Tax (CGT) when sold on, due to their status as legal tender in the UK.

The size of Gold Sovereigns at 7.99g also adds to the popularity of these coins as they are much smaller and therefore less expensive per coin than traditional 1Oz coins such as Britannias or Krugerrands. Many customers also purchase Gold Sovereigns because of their dates, either as historic links or to mark family occasions.

The primary reason to buy Gold Sovereigns online is the acquisition of gold in a form that is attractive, interesting and easily sold when it is time to liquidate your asset.

The Best of British? Gold Sovereign coins.

Gold Sovereign coins are available as a quarter Sovereign, a half Sovereign, a double Sovereign (£2) and as a quintuple Sovereign (£5).

The current year full or £1 Sovereign is also available in tubes of 25 and in larger investment bundles.

There are many examples of different designs that have been produced for the reverse side of Sovereigns over the years. Shield designs can be found on certain Victorian mintages and in recent years special commemorative images were produced in 2005 and 2012.

In 2017 The Royal Mint released a special commemorative edition Sovereign celebrating 200 years of the modern Sovereign and featuring an additional mint mark to acknowledge the anniversary.

We hope that you enjoy browsing our range of different years and designs of Gold Sovereigns here at UKBullion.com.
