British Sovereign Gold Coins

Remember enjoying the James Bond movies? Remember seeing the small bag of gold coins that were tucked away in a satchel or a hidden place on James’ car? They were British Sovereigns.

Did you know that Allied pilots carried British Sovereign Gold Coins during WWII in the event they were shot down? Gold was recognized by everyone and preferred over most paper currencies then. British Gold Sovereign Coins have been recognized and used as legal tender throughout the world. Small in size (about the size of a nickel) and weighing .2354 troy ounces, they were and still are easy to transport.

British Sovereigns were struck worldwide during the heyday of the British Empire. Starting in 1816, these Gold Sovereigns were the most widely distributed gold coin.

Today, British Gold Sovereigns are still being hoarded and traded throughout the world. They are not collected for their numismatic (coin collecting) value, but as gold bullion. You will find the Gold Sovereign price is held slightly above the gold spot. Many feel this is the perfect coin for safety and turbulent times.

You will find them here on Ebay and with Gold Coin Dealers throughout the world. Always dtermine the premium you are paying over the spot price. This will protect you from paying too much.
