Our Expert Opinion

We expect this coin to be in high demand as it represents a significant changing of the guard in British history. Sovereigns with alternative reverses to the standard St George and the dragon design tend to experience higher demand and premiums. The fact that it also represents the first bullion Sovereign to feature the new monarcj will further enhance its appeal.

Tax-efficient

While all investment grade gold is VAT exempt in the UK and EU, only certain coins are also free from Capital Gains Tax. This coin is one that qualifies for tax-free status as it benefits from owning a face value (£1) and therefore becoming legal tender in the UK. Any coin which is legal tender cannot be taxed for Capital Gains. This fact alone makes the Sovereign a very popular choice for investors seeking tax efficiency.

Due to the coin’s value, diminutive size and tax-free status, they’re incredibly popular. Any physical asset which is in demand will always fetch a higher price than obscure or undesirable assets. With a history of 200 years, you can have the comfort that these coins are incredibly liquid and easy to sell, fetching great prices.

Sovereign variety

If you’re looking to build a mixed holding of gold coins, the 2022 Memorial Sovereign can be combined with older, more collectable Sovereign coins such as the George V, Edward VII and Victorian Sovereigns. The value of Victorian Sovereigns, for example, will be higher than the brand new version as it benefits from historical, scarcity and collectors’ value. You may find that premiums on the older coins rise faster than brand new coins depending on availability.

Another way of diversifying your gold portfolio would be to combine the Memorial gold sovereign 2022 coin with larger coins such as the Quintuple Sovereign and gold Britannia, and buying smaller Half Sovereigns. This way, your holding is a great mix of sizes and ages, while remaining completely tax-free.
