The gold sovereign has been struck since 1817 and is one of the most recognisable coins in the world. Weighing just under 8 grams and containing 7.32 grams of pure gold, it has long been trusted as a stable store of value. Sovereigns have been issued under successive monarchs, from George III to Queen Elizabeth II and now King Charles III, making them popular with both collectors and investors.
Historic sovereigns – particularly those minted in the 19th and early 20th centuries – can carry significant collectable value, while modern bullion issues remain a practical way to invest in gold. At Dawsons, we are proud to connect sovereigns of every era with buyers who appreciate their beauty, history, and intrinsic worth.
