Sample Listing

The Modern British Sovereign refers to sovereign coins minted after 1933. Sovereigns are amongst the most widely traded and recognised bullion coins in the world. They have constant and excellent liquidity in most countries of the world.

For the person looking for a small gold coin (0.2354 ounces fine gold content), divisibility, potential for the premium (numismatic value) to rise and financial insurance against a systemic crisis, British Sovereigns are a good way to invest in and own gold.

Storage

When investing in precious metals it is important to consider how you want your investment stored.

•take delivery of your coins at your address ensuring that you have adequate facilities and insurance in place or;

•have your investment stored with a secure third party.

GoldCore offers fully insured secure storage facilities in many in international locations such as Switzerland, UK, USA, Australia and Asia.

Composition

Gold sovereigns minted since 1817 contain exactly 22 carats of pure gold (91.67% Au). The remainder is made up with a copper alloy. The alloy compensates for the malleability of gold and ensures that the coin is robust enough to survive normal handling when in circulation.

History

The first gold sovereign was minted in 1489 by King Henry VII. It had a value of one pound sterling. The first sovereign depicted Henry sitting on his throne, hence the name “Sovereign”. The obverse showed a Tudor double rose encircling the Royal cost of arms laid over a shield.

The production of gold sovereigns continued from 1489 to the present day with only two interruptions. Production was halted from 1604 to 1817 and from 1933 to 1956.

The British Empire at its height was the most successful and populous empire to have ever existed. It’s wealth and resources were unsurpassed. The British sovereign was representative of this empire and was accepted the world over as a means of exchange.

In 1816 the gold British Sovereign was first introduced, and as the British Empire expanded under Queen Victoria during the 1800s, this coin became the world’s most widely distributed gold coin. Minted originally in London, the Sovereign came to be minted all over the world as Australia and South Africa became large gold producers. Mints in Pretoria, Bombay, Ottawa, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney turned out hundreds of millions of Sovereigns during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The design of Saint George, aboard his brave steed, slaying the dragon is common to the reverse of all variations of this bullion coin. The Sovereign is a popular coin for investors and collectors alike.

Investment Information

Sovereigns should form a component of every precious metal investment portfolio. They are small in size and yet very valuable. They can be transported and stored with ease.

For UK investors there is no Capital Gain Tax on the disposal of Sovereigns. All investment grade bullion is exempt from Value Added Tax and Stamp Duty as per an EU directive brought into force throughout the EU in 2000.

What’s Wrong?

It is dishonest and unethical to pirate and steal other people’s work by using high quality copyright photographs without the owner’s consent. We can partially understand why they do it; it is quick and easy (but then so is robbing people).
