What are gold sovereigns?
The first gold Sovereign was ordered to be minted by Henry VII (1457 – 1509), the British king who founded the Tudor dynasty. He managed to restore a state of affluence in the country after the end of the civil wars during that time, known as Wars of Roses. As a way to show the economic growth, he ordered the first gold Sovereign to be made, which went into circulation in 1489. The expansion and dominance of the British Empire turned this British gold coin into the most popular coin in the world compared to the gold coins other countries had made earlier. Of course, later kings and queens, like Victoria, Edward VI, Elizabeth I and so on, followed Henry’s example and had their own Sovereigns made, showing their portraits.
To date, Sovereigns are valuable because besides their material, they are historic collectibles, which have not been produced systematically. Gold coins from other countries are as valuable as Sovereigns. Their only difference is that the latter is more widely known to the general public.
Why buy gold Sovereigns?
- To create or improve your collection of unique objects of economic and/or sentimental value.
- To get a great present for yourselves.
- To give your loved ones the perfect present on special occasions.
- To be passed down as a family heirloom. Gold is perfect for such uses because it is resistant and it does not rust with the passage of time.
- It is a safe investment since Sovereigns are reputable in the whole world and the price of gold is likely to increase even more in years to come.
- Buying Sovereigns now means that you will be able to sell them to Fasma Hellas in case you are in need of money in the future.
