Why Should You Invest in Gold Sovereigns?

Gold Sovereigns have been trusted by investors for centuries, offering UK residents exemptions from VAT and Capital Gains Tax. They are recognised worldwide for their iconic St George and the Dragon design, created by one of The Royal Mint's great engravers, Benedetto Pistrucci, allowing for ease of trade and liquidation.

Sovereigns are an ideal entry point into precious metals due to their lower gold content compared to other popular world bullion coins, making them more affordable.

While smaller coins can sometimes carry slightly higher premiums than larger ones, you can mitigate this by taking advantage of our quantity breaks or opting for options like our minty condition sovereigns (close to mint condition) or Grade C sovereign coins.

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).
