Victorian Gold Sovereigns

Queen Victoria Gold Coins

T he Victorian period was the years that Queen Victoria reigned Great Britian. Any Gold Sovereigns minted between the years of June 1837 until her death in early 1901 is therefore a Victorian Gold Sovereign

There are three different portrait heads of Queen Victoria on the Gold Sovereigns throughout the period, where the exact value of the Victorian Gold Sovereign varies considerably depending on which head is present on the coin

The most desired type is referred to as the 'Young Head' of Queen Victoria which commands the highest value given its rarity, age and overall appeal to collectors. The Victorian young head shield back sovereign commands the highest premium of this era

The next Sovereign portrait in the Victorian era features the regal crowned Victoria which was minted at the end of the 18th Century. These coin values command a slight premium over modern day full Sovereigns but remain affordable for most collectors

The final Queen Victoria Gold Sovereign features a veiled head and was featured on coins between 1893 and Victoria's death in 1901. The coins are very popular as investors will seek to hold at least one of each different head for their private collections

The value of the veiled head is similar to the crowned portrait. Auronum offers competitive rates for sellers of all Victorian Sovereigns and is the only UK Bullion dealer who recognises the premiums that these designs command
