About the 2020 Great Britain Gold Double Sovereign (BU)

Did you know that many British Gold Double Sovereign coins were supplied to World War II pilots in case they needed to buy their way out of potential captivity. 

This British Gold Double Sovereign coin is one of the world’s most recognized small gold bullion coins. Minted in vast quantities in the United Kingdom (by the now 1,100 year old Royal Mint), this coin retains its iconic standing amongst gold bullion buyers still today.

The British Gold Double Sovereign weighs 15.96 grams or 0.5131 troy ounces overall. It is alloyed with a small amount of copper which ensures its durability and ability to circulate without warping like some 24k fractional gold coins of today.

Highlights of this Coin:

• Has .4708 troy ounces of gold.
• Multiples of 40 are packed in tubes. 
• Smaller orders will be shipped in protective plastic flips.
• Its 22k gold content makes it more durable than modern 24k gold coins.
• Front bears Queen Elizabeth II.
• Back of the coin features a rendition of St. George mounted on horseback slaying a dragon and a stamping of the year of issue.
• Coin was designed by Benedetto Pistrucci.
• Originally minted at the British Royal Mint.

Other advantages to owning this coin include its small size making it perhaps more handy in barter in case of a fiat currency or bank crisis. This coin’s history makes the British Gold Sovereign coin easily identifiable as a valuable gold bullion piece around the world. The coin’s weight and content are guaranteed by the British government. 

All orders from Monument Metals are guaranteed as described, shipped discretely, and fully insured.
