Proof Gold Double Sovereign Coin Background
This Proof Gold Double Sovereign features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse side, dating from 2021. 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. Sovereigns are a staple of any UK bullion investors portfolio for many different reasons. Issued as UK legal tender, each coin is meticulously struck from 22 carat gold.
Sovereign coins are also produced in Full Sovereign, Half Sovereign, and Quarter Sovereign.
As well as being highly competitively priced, sovereigns are UK legal tender and hence Capital Gains Tax exempt, 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 exempt profit won’t affect or decrease the limit of tax-free profit on your other investments either.
This Gold Sovereign coin is presented beautifully in a wooden box and capsule in excellent condition. The box also features a free-standing inner section, allowing the coin to be presented upright easily on any shelf or platform. The capsule also includes a small paper piece inside, with the text “Struck on Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s 95th Birthday, 21st April 2021”.
Sovereign Coin Design
Gold Sovereigns are 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 beautiful Queen Elizabeth II’s 95th birthday crest design, this coin will stand out among any collection. This coin is a perfect commemorative piece for anyone who wants to remember this historic day. To this day, it remains trusted, traded, respected and admired the world over.
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 which changes each day.
The Royal Mint has issued Double Gold Sovereigns since 1820.
Tower Mint
Founded in 1976 by famous sculptor Raphael Maklouf, Tower Mint has been placed as the official minter for all Isle of Man Coinage as of 2017, creating some beautiful commemorative pieces such as this commemorative Elizabeth II’s 95th Birthday piece ever since.
