Buy the Gold Double Sovereign Coin Online Money Metals Exchange is pleased to offer British Double Sovereigns gold bullion coins - one of the least expensive ways to buy fractional-sized quality gold bullion coins. Investors must often pay large premiums to acquire gold in smaller sizes. Sovereigns, which are produced in vast quantities by London's Royal Mint, offer more affordable premiums. Gold British Sovereigns are one of the most recognized gold bullion coins around the world. The first of these sovereign gold coins were minted in 1817 and they remain in production today! Please be aware, the dates on these coins will vary based on what is available in inventory when your order is cleared and ready for packing. Please do not expect any specific date, but all coins will be in BU condition, guaranteed for gold weight and purity. The British Double Sovereign (containing .4708 troy ounces of gold content) can generally be purchased for less than half the premium of the similar sized 1/2 troy ounce American Eagle gold bullion coin. You won't find a better buy for gold mint coins with this great combination of small size and recognizability. These beauties are minted with an alloy of 22k gold, 91.67% gold and 8.33% copper. This "coin alloy" was developed to improve durability, and it is what give the modern gold sovereign its unique color. British Double Sovereign Designs Like other coins in the gold Sovereign family, Double Sovereigns do not name their face value on either obverse or reverse. Collectors recognise these coins thanks to their distinctive specifications. Their instantly recognisable reverse design also makes them easy to identify. The majority of Double Sovereigns minted down the centuries have featured Benedetto Pistrucci's classic image of Saint George, caught in the act of slaying a dragon. This engraving was created for the first modern 'full' Sovereigns and has seen regular use on the Double Sovereign with only a few exceptions. Traditionally, the image of England's patron saint is paired with the current royal portrait. The earliest Double Sovereigns showed the profile of George III. Modern Double Sovereigns have born a succession of effigies of Queen Elizabeth II, along with a legend that reads: 'ELIZABETH II · DEI · GRA · REGINA · FID · DEF ·'.
