Full Gold Sovereign Coin Background
Gold continues to be desired, as it has been for centuries, for both its beauty and value, sovereign coins are an affordable way to appreciate its precious qualities. The Sovereign has been made by The Royal Mint for over 500 years and is internationally recognised all over the world for its monetary value. Sovereigns are a staple of any UK bullion investors portfolio for many different reasons, issued as UK legal tender, each coin is meticulously struck by The Royal Mint from 22 carat gold.
The Royal Mint produces Sovereign coins in Full Sovereign, Half Sovereign, Quarter Sovereign and Proof Sovereigns.
As well as being highly competitively priced, sovereigns are UK legal tender and hence Capital Gains Tax-free, which is an important factor to consider when choosing what to 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.
Full Gold Sovereign Coin Design
Featuring a timeless design, the Sovereign has been used in British currency ever since King Henry VII instructed The Royal Mint to produce a new currency in 1489.
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.
The ‘Saint George and the Dragon’ design inspires integrity and strength. The Sovereign is traded, respected and admired all over the world and has been an integral part of UK coin design for many centuries.
The obverse of the 1957 – 1969 sovereigns features the first portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by the sculptor, Mary Gillick. In keeping with tradition, Elizabeth II faces right, her hair is brushed off her face and is rolled at the back of her head. Her hair is restrained by a laureate crown which is tied with ribbons at the back of her head. The Queen’s shoulders are bare and the truncation follows the curve of the coin.
There were no gold sovereigns produced in 1960, 1961 and 1969.
Issued by The Royal Mint, the full Gold Sovereign is one of the most popular and best known gold coins in the world. Gold Sovereigns are sought by both collectors and investors alike, they offer a sense of luxury, history and symbolism that no other coin can match. With its bold St George and the Dragon design, it has become an internationally recognised symbol of unrivalled accuracy, integrity and strength. To this day, it remains trusted, traded, respected and admired the world over.
