Whilst modern day sovereigns have been minted since 1817, the Gold Piedfort Sovereign is a relatively new innovation. It is just like a standard full Gold Sovereign but is double the thickness, making the Piedfort Sovereign weigh 15.98g, the exact same as a double Sovereign coin. Gold Piedfort Sovereigns are typically seen in proof finishes and are very popular with collectors who are willing to pay a higher premium to secure a beautiful coin
Despite their higher premiums, Piedfort Sovereigns are good investments because they have a relatively low mintage compared to the mass produced full Sovereigns, this allows them to hold their premium over time. There are many Gold investors who will only collect Sovereigns. These buyers will be tempted by the Piedfort Sovereign as it is a coin that can add variety to a collection as well as a beautifully struck coin
Auronum pays specific year premiums for Gold Sovereigns
The first Piedfort Sovereign was issued in 2017 by the Royal Mint, this was a special coin to mark the 200th anniversary of the modern Sovereign. Piedfort Sovereigns are a collectors coin and have been minted regularly since 2017 by the Royal Mint as well as Perth Mint
Piedfort Gold Sovereigns are popular coins that are finished to proof standard. Given that the Piedfort contains the same mass of Gold to a Double Sovereign, the Piedfort is considered as a novelty coin that offers diversification to a collector looking for something attractive and different for their collection
As the Piedfort is usually sold in a purpose built display case, this is often why many buyers will pay a higher premium to secure these lower mintage collector coins
Struck by the Royal Mint, the piedfort Sovereign is minted with a proof finish, making the coin perfect for collectors who desire the most attractive pieces in the market
The piedfort Sovereign is the same weight as a double Sovereign coin, providing the investor with 14.63g of fine Gold content per piedfort Sovereign
Piedfort Sovereigns have a diameter of 22.05mm which is the same as a full Sovereign, the double thickness makes this equal to a double sovereign
