The British Sovereign coin, known for its gold bullion content, was widely used as standard currency in the British Empire from 1817 to 1932. Its global recognition as a store of value made it a popular choice for trade at ports around the world, including India, Australia, and Canada.
Today, the British Sovereign serves more as a collectible and investment piece, still backed by the United Kingdom. It comes in several sizes, including the full Sovereign, half Sovereign, quarter Sovereign, and double Sovereign, all crafted solely in gold. The full Sovereign size is the most sought after.
The Royal Mint, responsible for producing official UK coinage, also mints the British Sovereign and other bullion coins with legal tender value. The British Britannia series, offered in gold, silver, and platinum, is among the Mint's other bullion offerings, as well as various special edition coins.
Gold Sovereigns are a popular choice among European, particularly UK-based, gold investors, as they are exempt from Capital Gains Tax on profits. They are widely recognized in Commonwealth nations. Many investors looking to accumulate a precious metals portfolio buy gold Sovereigns in regular increments.
