Sovereigns are a staple of any UK bullion investors portfolio for many different reasons. They are issued as UK legal tender. Each coin is meticulously struck from 22 carat gold.
As well as being highly competitively priced, sovereigns are UK legal tender and hence Capital Gains Tax free. This is an important factor to consider when choosing what form of metal to buy. By purchasing UK coins eligible for CGT exemption you can avoid paying tax over the profit you make, the amount of this CGT free profit won’t affect or decrease the limit of tax free profit on your other investments either.

History:
There have been Sovereigns in circulation since 1489 with the Half Sovereign being first produced in 1544 during King Henry VIII reign. The modern Sovereign Gold coin was first issued in 1817 when the sovereign replaced the Guinea. It became legal tender in the United Kingdom with a face value of £1 Sterling. These days, because the value of the gold used to create the coin is much higher than the face value, the price of the Sovereign is closely connected to the gold spot price.
This platinum jubilee half sovereign pair is perfect for commemorating Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s momentous occasion. It celebrates her long life and prestige.
