Where to Buy Gold Sovereigns
With the increased value of gold and the rise in the number of collectors of Gold Sovereigns, the dedicated enthusiasts are often heard to exclaim “Where to buy gold sovereigns?”.
Whilst the current year’s production run is proving extremely popular and profitable for investors, many collectors of the coins look beyond the gold value of the sovereign and collect these precious coins for decorative purposes or to complete a collection.
History of the Gold Sovereign
Part of the appeal of the sovereign is its history, both as an instrument of monarchy, but also as a reminder of the British Empire and the many exotic trade roots that this coin facilitated.
The gold Sovereign coin was first struck over 500 years ago in 1489 and is one of the oldest coins still being produced today. Named to honour the king, it has been a symbol of status and strength ever since.
The gold Sovereign coin is internationally recognised. During the 19th century, it was classed as legal tender in more than 20 countries. It still retains its legal tender status in the United Kingdom, meaning that the product is exempt from capital gains taxes that are typically levied on other investments.
