What is a Gold Sovereign?

The gold sovereign is a British gold coin with a face value of one pound (£1). Since 1817,  gold sovereigns have been made of 22 carat gold, with a weight of 7.98 grams. The coin has a diameter of 22.05mm, and contains 0.2354 troy ounces of fine gold. It is widely used as a gold bullion coin, and popular amongst gold investors in the UK due to it’s Capital Gains Tax status (CGT free).
