Gold Double Sovereign Coins

Royal Mint Official Partner

Chards is an official partner of The Royal Mint, and our gold sovereign coins are directly sourced from their mint headquarters in Llantrisant, Wales. Gold double sovereign coins are one of the most popular choices among British bullion coins, and we price them competitively with some of the lowest premiums on the market.

Queen Elizabeth II Double Sovereigns

In 1953, for the coronation of Elizabeth II, a very small number of gold proof sets, including two pounds, are known to have been produced, but these were never made generally available, and we believe none have ever appeared on the open market. From 1980, the Royal Mint began actively producing and marketing coins for collectors, and this has included gold two pound coins.

Why Invest In Gold Double Sovereigns?

Gold double sovereigns are a great choice for investors seeking capital gains tax-exempt gold bullion. Double sovereigns contain twice as much gold in troy ounces and weigh twice as much, while still featuring the iconic St George design that made the sovereign series famous in 1817. Due to this iconic depiction, these coins are easy to trade and liquidate.
