Queen Elizabeth II Gold Sovereign Coin - 22ct Gold
British Gold Sovereigns – History & Legacy
The gold sovereign is one of the world's most iconic and recognizable gold coins. First introduced in 1817 by the Royal Mint during the reign of King George III, these magnificent 22-carat gold coins have been a symbol of British heritage and economic strength for over 200 years.
Each sovereign and half sovereign features the reigning monarch's portrait on the obverse (front), while the reverse traditionally displays the classic St. George and the Dragon design by Benedetto Pistrucci – an enduring symbol of courage and national pride. Throughout history, the sovereign coin gold series has featured various monarchs including Queen Victoria, King Edward VII, King George V, and our current Queen Elizabeth II.
Full Sovereign
The full gold sovereign contains 7.98 grams of 22-carat gold (91.67% purity), giving it a fine gold content of 7.32 grams or 0.2354 troy ounces. The full sovereign price today reflects both its gold content and any collectible premium based on rarity and condition.
Half Sovereign
The half sovereign (sometimes called a "half sov") contains 3.99 grams of 22-carat gold, exactly half the weight of a full sovereign. The half sovereign price is typically slightly more than half the value of a full sovereign due to similar production costs despite the smaller size.
Both the sovereign and half sovereign remain legal tender in the UK, though their actual value far exceeds their face values of £1 and £0.50 respectively. Today, these English sovereign gold coins are prized by both investors and collectors worldwide.

What Affects the Value of a Gold Sovereign?
The cost of a gold sovereign varies based on several factors. Understanding these can help you make informed decisions whether buying or selling sovereign coins.
Gold Content Value
The base value of any sovereign is its gold content. A full gold sovereign contains 7.98g of 22ct gold (91.67% pure), while a half sovereign contains 3.99g. The gold sovereign price fluctuates with the spot price of gold, which we update regularly on our live gold price page.
Collectible Premium
Beyond its gold value, a sovereign's price can be significantly higher based on its rarity, historical significance, condition, and collector demand. Some rare sovereign issues can command prices many times their gold value.
Key Value Factors
- Year of Minting: Certain years are rarer than others, affecting the sovereign price
- Monarch: Coins from shorter reigns often have higher premiums
- Mint Mark: Sovereigns were minted in various locations worldwide, some rarer than others
- Condition: Better preserved coins command higher prices
- Special Editions: Proof coins and commemorative issues typically have higher values
- Historical Significance: Coins from significant historical periods may have additional value
Whether you're interested in the full sovereign price or half sovereign price, our experts can provide accurate valuations based on all these factors. The price of sovereign gold can vary significantly from one coin to another, which is why professional assessment is valuable.

What Our Customers Say
I sold several gold sovereigns and half sovereigns to Mozeris after comparing prices with other dealers. They offered the best sovereign price by far, and the process was incredibly smooth. The courier collection service was convenient, and I received payment the same day they received my coins.
I've been collecting royal mint sovereign coins for years and recently purchased several from Mozeris. Their knowledge of gold English sovereign coins is impressive, and they helped me find some rare dates I'd been searching for. The gold sovereign price was fair, and the coins arrived quickly and well-packaged.
I inherited a collection of British sovereign gold coins and had no idea about their value. Mozeris provided a detailed valuation explaining both the gold content and the collectible premium of each sovereign coin. Their price was significantly better than what my local jeweler offered. I appreciated their transparency about how they calculated the cost of gold sovereigns.
