About this product
The full Gold Sovereign has been struck by The Royal Mint since 1817 and remains one of the world's most recognised bullion coins. Legal tender status makes it exempt from UK Capital Gains Tax, and its small size and strong resale demand make it a popular entry point for gold investors.
Reverse design
Benedetto Pistrucci's iconic Saint George and the Dragon design, first used in 1817 and still struck on the Sovereign today.
Obverse design
The official coinage portrait of His Majesty King Charles III by Martin Jennings.
