The age of using gold coins as a form of currency might sound like a story from an old book, but it was a lived reality only a few generations ago. Gold coins are a remarkably easy way of putting wealth into gold and while you rarely see them used for spending purposes, demand for them remains high on the open markets.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sovereigns\u00a0as top coins\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gold Sovereigns from the reign of Queen Victoria typically weigh 7.98\u00a0grams, and\u00a0are divided into three distinctive chapters of her life: the Young Head portrait, which was in use until 1887; the Jubilee Head portrait commemorating her Golden Jubilee from 1887 onwards; and the Old Head\u00a0or Veiled head, from 1893 until her death in 1901. The coins\u00a0currently\u00a0attract a price\u00a0for their gold content\u00a0in the region of\u00a0\u00a3300..\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most popular coins to consider, if you wish to\u00a0sell\u00a0gold<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0you have any in your possession is Gold Sovereigns. Many of these have been minted over the last 150 years or more, most of which are likely to bear the portrait of Queen Victoria. Her reign, which lasted over 60 years, means there are a wealth of these coins offering a tangible record of this period in British History.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you ever have a gold item and need a quick and easy way to get a valuation, Cash for Your Gold has a free-to-use\u00a0Gold Scrap Calculator<\/a>. This allows you to get a simple price for what your coin could be worth; all you need to calculate this is an idea about the coin\u2019s purity and its weight.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gold Britannias are another popular gold coin minted in the UK, depicting Britannia herself, holding a trident and\u00a0shield. This iconic gold coin is often found in a variety of weights, from tenth of an ounce to full troy ounce coins, which can attract a price roughly close to the\u00a0spot price of gold<\/a>\u00a0per troy ounce (\u00a31,300 per troy ounce as of September 2021).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other coins to consider\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gold Sovereigns and Britannias aren\u2019t the only coins popular with gold coin enthusiasts which you can sell for a respectable price. South Africa has been minting coins known as Krugerrands since 1967, as a means\u00a0for\u00a0individuals to store their wealth privately in gold. These coins were notoriously hard to come by during the 1970s and 1980s, as this was at the height of the apartheid era, when countries actively blocked the import of such items from South Africa as a form of boycott.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with Britannias, Krugerrands are often minted as single-troy-ounce coins, but buyers often happily look for the smaller-weight varieties of such gold coins, as they offer an easy jump-on point for entering the bullion market. No matter how big or small your gold coin may be, it is highly likely to attract a good selling price, but you just need to find the right people to sell to.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cash for Your Gold is here to help facilitate such sales of gold coins. We have extensive knowledge of such items, offering valuations and consultations to help ascertain what your item could be worth.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
