Information
Gold Sovereign Coins
The Gold Sovereign is a historic British gold coin with origins dating back to 1489. The modern Sovereign was reintroduced by The Royal Mint in 1817 and has since become one of Britain's best-known gold coins. Each Sovereign weighs 7.98 grams and is traditionally struck in 22 carat gold.
The classic Sovereign design
The reverse of many Sovereign coins features Benedetto Pistrucci's famous depiction of St George on horseback slaying the dragon. First used for the modern Sovereign in 1817, this design has become closely associated with the coin throughout its long history.
The obverse features the British monarch from the period in which the coin was struck. Older Sovereigns can therefore feature portraits of monarchs such as George V or Queen Elizabeth II. The exact design and other details may vary depending on the year of issue.

A Sovereign gives you approximately 7.32 grams of pure gold in a compact and internationally recognised coin. Its smaller gold content makes the Sovereign an interesting alternative to larger gold bullion coins, while older issues also offer historical appeal for collectors.
We supply various years depending on our current stock. The coin pictured is therefore an example; the year and portrait of the Sovereign you receive may vary.

Obverse
The obverse of the coin depicts St. George riding a horse. In this well-known image, St. George is depicted with a dragon that he is said to have slain. In this, the dragon symbolizes paganism and St. George is the one who, by defeating the dragon, also ensures the conversion of pagans to Christianity.
Reverse
The reverse side depicts Queen Elizabeth II. Furthermore, the reverse of the coin features the Latin text "DEI GRA REGINA FID DEF," or "By the Grade of God, Queen."
The pink or red glow you see on this coin comes from the copper alloy used in combination with the 22 karat gold. The red color of copper gives the coin its unique look, which differs from pure gold coins. This 22 karat content has the advantage that the coins are sturdier and less likely to scratch or damage. This is because pure gold is a softer metal and is more susceptible to scratches and other damage.

Investment score
A B-rating indicates products that are still widely recognized and tradable worldwide, often issued by reputable mints or refiners. However, the price per gram or spread is generally slightly higher compared to A-rated products. While still suitable for investment purposes, they are not the most cost-efficient option available.
Label information

Less information
Products with an A-rating are among the most commonly traded and liquid options available. These coins and bars offer a strong balance between a competitive price per gram and a low spread, making them well-suited for investors who want to acquire physical gold or silver efficiently. Due to their global recognition, they are typically easy to buy and sell.
B-label

Less information
Een B-label staat voor producten die wereldwijd goed verhandelbaar zijn en afkomstig zijn van erkende munthuizen of raffinaderijen. De prijs per gram of de spread ligt echter doorgaans iets hoger dan bij A-label producten. Daarmee zijn ze nog steeds geschikt als belegging, maar minder optimaal voor wie puur kijkt naar kostenefficiëntie.
C-label

Less information
Products with a C-rating are primarily valued for their collectible characteristics. This may include limited editions, unique designs, or historical significance. As a result, their price is often less closely tied to the underlying metal value. These products are typically chosen by collectors rather than investors focused on efficiency.
