Sovereigns

The Full Sovereign

Full sovereigns have been in existence since 1489. The Full Sovereign coin with Saint George slaying a dragon on the reverse and the monarch on the front was first minted in 1817, allowing modern day Gold investors to own a piece of Great British history when purchasing a Full Sovereign coin. Many designs have existed through the ages with some rarer types commanding large premiums, however, plenty are accessible for a fraction over their intrinsic values

The Royal Mint continues to produce modern Sovereign coins but historic coins are limited in supply and held by precious metal collectors. All Gold investors should consider owning collectable and historic Gold coins in their precious metal portfolio. Full Sovereigns are 22 carat Gold making them 91.67% fine Gold. At 7.98g the coins are an excellent price-point for incremental buying which has helped them retain their title of Britains most popular Gold bullion coin
