The Gold Sovereign

A Coin of History, Weight & Pure Gold Value

The British Gold Sovereign is one of the world’s most recognised gold coins, first minted in 1489 under Henry VII. Its iconic reverse depicts St George slaying the Dragon a design created by Benedetto Pistrucci in 1817 that remains one of the most celebrated coin designs in numismatic history.

The obverse bears the reigning monarch’s profile a tradition unbroken across centuries of British history. But beyond its historical and artistic value, what makes a Sovereign worth real money today is its gold content: every Full Sovereign contains exactly 0.2354 troy ounces of 22-carat gold.

That gold is worth the same whether the coin was minted in 1817 or 2024 and it’s worth real money at today’s historic market prices.

Weight

Value is driven by the exact troy ounce weight of each coin. Full, Half, Quarter, and Quintuple Sovereigns each carry a specific gold weight we measure this precisely.

Purity — 22 Carat

All British Sovereigns are struck in 22-carat (916.7/1000 fine) gold a purity standard unchanged since 1817. We verify this using professional testing equipment.

Daily Gold Rate

Your offer is calculated against the live gold spot price on the day of valuation the same London Bullion Market rate used by banks and refineries.

Any Condition Accepted

Mounted in Jewellery. Worn or Circulated. Still Full Gold Value.

Whether your sovereign is uncirculated, worn smooth, ex-jewellery with mount marks, or simply old and tarnished the gold inside is the same. And today, that gold is worth a significant sum at historic market prices.

Ex-jewellery sovereigns with mount solder full gold rate paid
Worn, circulated, or polished coins condition irrelevant to gold value
Sovereigns from any reign Victoria to Charles III
Foreign sovereign equivalents Napoleons, Krugerrands also considered

Frequently Asked Questions

Have more questions about selling your sovereigns? Call our Arkansas team at 501-859-1282 — we’re happy to discuss your collection before you send anything.

what carat are british gold sovereigns?

All British Gold Sovereigns — from the original 1817 issue to the most recent Royal Mint releases — are struck in 22-carat gold (916.7 parts per thousand fine gold, hallmarked 916). This purity standard has been maintained without exception since Pistrucci’s design was introduced. It is one of the most consistent and well-documented gold specifications in numismatic history.

does the age or reign of my sovereign affect its value?

For gold content purposes, no. A Victorian sovereign minted in 1870 contains exactly the same weight and purity of gold as one minted in 2024. Your payout from us is based entirely on gold weight × 22ct purity × live spot price — not the date, reign, or monarch depicted. Note: if you have particularly rare date/mintmark combinations with high numismatic collector value, you may wish to consult a coin specialist before selling — we’ll advise honestly.

do you buy sovereigns that were mounted in jewellery?

Yes. Sovereigns that were set into rings, pendants, brooches, or bracelets — and have mount marks, solder residue, or edge damage as a result — are still valued on their gold content. The gold doesn’t change because the coin was mounted. We’ll weigh it, confirm the purity, and pay accordingly. In some cases the gold mount itself adds additional value to your total offer.

how is the price calculated and how do i know it's fair?

Your offer is calculated using a transparent formula: verified troy ounce weight × 22ct gold purity (0.9167) × live LBMA gold spot price on day of assessment. We send you a full written breakdown showing every figure before you decide. You can verify the gold spot price yourself at any time via the London Bullion Market Association website. We apply the market rate not a discounted “house price.”

do you buy half sovereigns and quntuple sovereigns?

Yes — we purchase all British Sovereign denominations: Quarter Sovereigns (0.0588 oz), Half Sovereigns (0.1176 oz), Full Sovereigns (0.2354 oz), Double Sovereigns (0.4708 oz), and Quintuple Sovereigns (1.1771 oz). Each is valued at the same competitive rate per troy ounce of 22ct gold. A Quintuple Sovereign at today’s prices contains over $2,300 in gold content — we pay accordingly.

do you also buy foreign gold coins napoleons, krugerrands?

We primarily specialise in British Sovereigns, but we also consider other internationally recognised gold bullion coins — including French Napoleon 20 Franc coins (900 fine), South African Krugerrands (22ct), American Gold Eagles (22ct), and Canadian Maple Leafs (24ct). Contact us at 501-859-1282 to discuss your specific coins before sending.

is my collection insured while being posted?

Yes — full insurance cover is provided from the moment you seal the padded envelope and drop it at the Post Office. The pre-paid label we provide includes transit insurance and full tracking. Keep your proof of postage receipt as your insurance reference number. In the unlikely event of a loss in transit, your coins are covered at their declared value.

what if i decline the offer?

No problem at all. You are under zero obligation to accept. Simply decline and every coin in your collection will be returned to you — fully insured, tracked, completely free of charge. There is no fee, no deposit, and no pressure applied at any stage. Our aim is to make you a fair offer you’re genuinely satisfied with — not to secure a sale at any cost.
