Gold Sovereigns
First minted in 1489, the gold Sovereign has earned its title as the ‘chief coin of the world’, thanks to its longstanding legacy of quality, value, and dependability. Recognized worldwide by both individuals and institutions alike, it’s held in high regard as the most credible investment-grade coin.
The primary advantage of purchasing Sovereigns in lieu of larger gold units lies in the enhanced selling flexibility. It offers the convenience of liquidating your gold investment in smaller portions at the most competitive rates, making them an ideal choice for long-term investors. Furthermore, there is a well-established and prosperous secondary market for the coins due to their international status, making them extremely easy to sell.
For investors looking to invest in gold coins securely online, Sovereigns offer both strong liquidity and a recognised status in global markets. Their blend of investment reliability and historical appeal makes them a standout choice for those seeking both stability and long-term growth.

Gold Britannias
The value of Britannia bullion coins is determined by their gold content. When first minted in 1987, it featured 22 carat gold. However, since 2013, they have been minted in 24 carat gold.
Britannia’s take pride in being recognised as a global standard in bullion security. This is due to the incorporation of four revolutionary security elements in 2021. These include a latent image that alternates from a trident to a padlock when the coin is rotated together with a moving background. These preventative measures decrease the chances of counterfeiting, making the coins visually verifiable. This beautiful design also sets the Britannia apart as one of the most aesthetic gold coins in the market to invest in.

Historic Sovereigns
Sovereigns stand out in the world of bullion coins due to their dual nature – they are not only a valuable investment but are also highly collectable. Unlike the majority of bullion coins that emerged from the 1970s onwards, Sovereigns boast a historical pedigree. This numismatic significance enhances the investment value of the Sovereign beyond its metal weight, adding another layer of worth. This can be particularly useful if the gold price falls as the historical premium will offer value protection.

Sovereign or Britannias?
Both gold Britannias and gold Sovereigns are widely considered a strong and popular investment choice as they are VAT-free and exempt from CGT.
In terms of international coin recognition, the Sovereign is superior due to its longer presence in the market. However, the allure of the Britannia has greatly increased since 2013, when it began to be minted as a 24-carat coin. This surpasses the appeal of the 22ct Sovereign, gaining favour for its more aesthetic composition. The weight of a gold Britannia is approximately four times that of a gold Sovereign, hence the Britannia’s cost tends to be higher given that weight plays a significant role in the pricing of precious metals like gold. In spite of the low premiums on both, the annual production rate of Sovereigns, coupled with their long years of manufacture, ensures that liquidity is extremely high.
