What Is Brilliant Uncirculated (BU)?

A Brilliant Uncirculated coin is a newly minted coin unintended for circulation. The finishing of these coins typically sits between that of bullion and proof.

BU finishing is typically reserved for low mintage special releases such as the £5 quintuple Sovereign, with multiple strikes of hand-finished dies ensuring a sharper image than bullion coinage.

What Is the History of the Sovereign?

The Sovereign was first issued as a gold hammered coin in 1489 for the King Henry VII. Designed by German engraver, Alexander of Bruchsal, the obverse featured the King in his coronation robes seated upon his throne, symbolising the power, success and splendour of the fledgling Tudor dynasty.

Although the first British gold sovereign was issued in 1489 for Henry VII, the modern gold Sovereign was first struck in 1817 under King George III.

Today, the vast majority of British gold Sovereigns showcase Benedetto Pistrucci's St George and the dragon design on the reverse, paired with various monarchs over time.

What Is Capital Gains Tax?

Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is a form of levies imposed on the profit garnered from the sale of assets, such as real estate, investments, and collectibles. In the United Kingdom, the present CGT allowance is £3,000 per annum per individual, which implies that one can earn up to £3,000 from the sale of assets prior to being subject to CGT. Read our CGT guide for more information to see what bullion coins are exempt from CGT and the ones which are.

Obverse

The obverse features the uncrowned coinage portrait of King Charles III, designed by Martin Jennings. The inscription reads:

CHARLES III · DEI · GRA · REX · FID · DEF ·

Reverse

The reverse face of the coin features Benedetto Pistrucci’s prominent St George and the Dragon design.
