The British sovereign is the most widely traded semi-numismatic gold coin in
the world. The prices of these beautiful coins is only slightly higher than gold
bullion, but they offer many advantages, including increasing scarcity,
aesthetic value and historical significance. British gold sovereign coins are
recognised by investors worldwide as one of the most advantageous ways to invest in gold. 

British gold sovereign coins was initially issued in 1489 to honor the Tudor
King Henry VII. With a value of one pound sterling. The face of the earliest
sovereign displayed the king majestically seated upon his throne, which is were
it got its name. On the reverse of this coin, there was a Tudor double rose that
encircled the Royal coat of arms on a shield. 

Gold sovereign coins are still been made today but they were discontinued between 1604-1817 and 1933-1956. During this time other coins were made in place of the sovereign coins. These coins included the guineas, the Laurels and Unites.
