Gold sovereigns are available in various sizes ranging from a quarter sovereign to a large five Sovereign. Gold Sovereigns are minted by the Royal Mint and are available in matt, bullion and proof finishes. All Gold Sovereigns are 91.67% Gold with the remainder comprised of Silver and/or copper. Modern day Gold Sovereigns have a higher copper content, giving them a rose Gold sheen
The Gold Half Sovereign is popular with fractional Gold coin investors and is the choice bullion coin for lower capitalised investors or collectors that are looking for something slightly different from the standard Gold Sovereign
Gold full Sovereigns are the flagship coin of the Royal Mint and are in high demand in domestic and international markets. The weight of 7.98g makes the Gold Sovereign a perfect coin for stacking and collecting over time
Double Sovereigns are less common than the standard Gold Sovereign but are highly desirable for their increased Gold mass. As the name suggests, Double Sovereigns contain exactly twice the Gold content of a Gold Sovereign
The five sovereign is a less common coin that is typically found as part of a set but is also issued by the Royal Mint as a single piece. Five Sovereigns are typically struck to a proof finish but are also popular in Matt
The Piedfort Sovereign is like a Full Sovereign but double the thickness. This gives it the same mass as a Double Sovereign but is limited to low mintages and always struck to a beautiful proof finish
The Royal Mint issues proof Sovereign sets annually in the form of 3-coin, 4-coin and 5-coin sets. These are extremely popular and are of limited mintages which appeals to investors and collectors alike

Australian Sovereigns was the first Sovereign to be struck outside of Great Britain
The first gold sovereign was introduced in 1489 under King Henry VII and featured a large 15th-century design with the king enthroned on the obverse, marking England’s early move toward prestige coinage
The 1817 sovereign featuring George III was the modern reintroduction which standardised it for circulation with a much smaller size and became the basis for what we now consider the modern gold sovereign series
The original 1489 Gold sovereign was a larger 15.5g of 23-carat Gold, making the coins 95.83% pure. However, since 1817 The Royal Mint has struck Gold Sovereigns to a strict 7.98g of 22 carat Gold
