    The British Gold Sovereign is the official coinage of English Royalty and has been issued for both Kings and Queens since they were first minted to honor Henry VII in 1489. In fact, the British Sovereign Gold Coins have been the cornerstone of the Tudor Dynasty. Genuine Legal Tender Sovereigns:

    British Sovereign Kings are larger European gold coins and are guaranteed to contain .2354 troy ounces of pure gold.

    Sovereigns offer many advantages unmatched by modern gold coins. In fact, they are private gold, non-reportable by us to the I.R.S. when you buy or sell.

    British Sovereign gold coins are private, portable, and offer you instant liquidity worldwide making them easy to sell in the future at any time.

    Used as Emergency Money - British Sovereign Gold Coins are recognized worldwide and have been used as "emergency money" for decades. Allied World War II pilots carried British Gold Sovereigns in their survival kits. More recently, American pilots carried these historic gold coins as emergency money in case they were downed in Iraq.
