Royal Mint Official Partner

Chards is an official partner of The Royal Mint. Our best value sovereign gold coins, among other Royal Mint products, are sourced directly from their mint headquarters in Llantrisant, Wales.

Our Secondary Market Sovereigns

Our Secondary Market 'Our Choice' sovereigns (smoc sovs) are guaranteed to be genuine and of good bullion quality.

We have seen many examples of SMOC Sovs that people have bought from other dealers, and many have been sub-standard, which we would consider Grade C.

Please note that Grade C is not a traditional grade but rather a collection of coins that may exhibit defects such as deep scratches and mount marks, leading us to classify these coins as Grade C.

Best Value Gold Coins

For investors seeking to secure bullion at the best prices, Chards offers our best-value gold bullion coin range, featuring our lowest premium bullion stock.

These coins include many of the world's most popular bullion coins available in 'minty' or secondary market conditions. This enables us to sell these coins at more competitive premiums compared to newly released gold coins from several top mints worldwide.

Alternative Ways To Buy Cheap Sovereigns

If you wish to buy better condition coins, please see our Minty Sovereigns or our 2024 Sovereigns.

If you are looking for cheap sovereigns purely for their gold content, then see our Grade C Sovereigns. Please note we do not recommended as an investment item.

How to Spot a Fake Sovereign

Why You Should Invest in Secondary Market Sovereigns?

All gold bullion sovereigns are bought and sold based on their metal content. Second-hand sovereigns may show some signs of wear or have some small scratches, scuffs and edge knocks. However, all secondary market sovereigns sold by us are of bullion standard, and offer a very cheap way of investing in gold. If you wish to buy a better condition coin, please search for graded sovereigns.

History of the Gold Sovereigns

The English 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 George III. Issued with a nominal value of one pound, it was a circulation coin in Britain until the middle of World War I and abroad until 1932. The sovereign was reintroduced in 1957 as an investment coin to meet demand for gold bullion.

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. Notably, following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, His Majesty King Charles III now graces the obverse of the sovereigns, including the 2022 memorial sovereigns, the 2023 Coronation sovereigns, and the 2024 sovereign range to name a few.

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.

For UK residents, bullion coins which are UK legal tender pound sterling coins are exempt from capital gains tax (CGT).

Obverse

The obverse design varies depending on the chosen sovereign but always carries a face value of £1 and features a British monarch.

Reverse

The bullion sovereigns will all feature the St George and Dragon engraving by Benedetto Pistrucci, depicting St. George on horseback overpowering the fierce dragon by slaying it with his sword.
