British Gold
When it comes to gold coins, there may not be another name that needs to be uttered aside from the British Sovereign Gold Coin. British Sovereigns are the most widely owned and recognized pre-1933 gold coins. They have been nicknamed the “gold survival coin” and the U.S. Army even included them as part of its special forces survival pack for years. These beautiful gold coins depict St. George slaying a dragon on the reverse, and the monarch on the front. While there are other British gold coins, the British gold proof sovereign truly embodies the perfect British gold coin. While coins from other countries come in a variety of forms, British sovereign gold coins come in standard specifications, including a weight of 7.9881 grams, a thickness of 1.52mm, a diameter of 22.05mm, a fineness of 22-karat (91.67%), with an actual gold content of 0.2354 troy ounces. It does, however, come with a variety of dating, like 1898-1901 (Victoria), 1902-1910 (Edward VII), 1925 (George V), and 2000-2006 (Elizabeth II), among a multitude of other dates. Rare British gold sovereigns have continued to grow in value, with British coin values as a whole outpacing the standard gold appreciation. British gold coin values will surely continue to increase as gold continues to as well.
