British Sovereign Gold Coins

British Sovereign gold bullion coins are nickel-size gold bullion coins that were struck worldwide at the height of the British Empire.

First introduced in 1816, the British Sovereign gold coin came to be the world’s most widely distributed gold coin, a distribution which grew along with the British Empire to be minted in Pretoria, Bombay, Ottawa, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney. Hundreds of millions of Sovereigns were struck at their peak of distribution in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

A large supply of gold Sovereigns and continued hoarding and trade all over the world cause these nickel-sized gold coins to be available today at bullion pricing. These coins portray the reigning monarch (sovereign, hence the name) on one side, and Pestrucci’s St. George slaying the Dragon on the other.

Market Value
Sovereign pricing is based on the current market “spot price” plus a premium per coin. The spot price of gold (and all precious metals) is reported every business day in all major newspapers, network television and radio and online.

The minimum purchase of gold sovereign coins is 10 coins. If you are interested in purchasing less than 10 coins, you can do so at our online store:
