British Gold Sovereign, BU

George V design (Minted 1911-1935)

British gold sovereigns, or “Kings,” are the most widely recognized gold coins in the world. In Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition they're ideal for coin collectors, history buffs, and gold investors alike. BU Kings offer all of the investment benefits of common gold bullion, plus the additional profit leverage that only classic collectible coins can provide -- and at no added cost!

The most trusted coin in the world

Minted from 1911 to 1935, the George V design was the last British gold sovereign produced for regular issue. Our George V sovereigns are very well struck with strong, detailed devices and a lovely orange-gold color. The obverse features a portrait of George V, and the reverse depicts the mythical slaying of the dragon by St.George.

Sized for trade, British gold sovereigns were produced at seven different mints during the fabled era when “the sun never set on the British Empire.” From Britain to India, Canada to South Africa and Australia, these timeless gold pieces were indeed the most trusted coins in the world because of their pure gold content and secure backing by the British crown. In fact, they were included in the survival kits of American pilots during both World War II and Desert Storm.

An inspiring leader

George V was the second son of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. A career navy officer until the death of his older brother, Price Albert, in 1890, George succeeded to the throne in 1910 and ruled until 1936. An inspiring leader during World War I, George often visited the front to rally his troops.

At today’s prices these BU Kings are a steal! Great for sets!
