British Sovereign

Gold British Sovereigns weigh .2354 ounces so just under 1/4-oz. and are perfect for those looking for privacy and a low premium, smaller-sized gold coin. We are a direct importer of these desirable coins from Europe and we select only Sovereigns of exceptional quality.

British Sovereigns are totally private when you or your heirs sell back to us. Their smaller size makes them easier to exchange, and since these gold coins are no longer being produced, their supplies are strictly limited.

British "Sovs" are smart diversification for all gold buyers thanks to their extra profit-potential, user-friendly size, and better pricing compared to modern fractional coins like the smaller Gold American Eagles.

British Sovereign

The British Empire has struck sovereign coins since 1817 and they are well known around the world. Although they have been issued with various monarchs on the obverse, we typically focus on those depicting King George and Queen Elizabeth due to their relative availability in mint condition and low premiums over their gold content.

King George Sovereigns were only issued from 1911–1932 and contain .2354 ounces of pure gold each or just under 1/4-oz. The reverse depicts Benedetto Pistrucci’s classic design of St. George slaying a dragon.

Queen Elizabeth continue to be made today, but here we focus on older Queens from the 1950's and 1960's. To find out more about British Sovereign Coins talk to one of our Austin Gold Coin Dealer. We are here to advise, educate, and help you choose the ideal gold, silver, rare, and ancient coins.
