Introduction
At Tavex, we are proud to present the Great Britain Half Sovereign Gold Coin. These coins are the perfect choice for investors seeking gold sovereigns but at a lower price to its full gold sovereign counterpart.
The sovereign, introduced for the first time more than 500 years ago, is renowned for its impeccable accuracy, strong liquidity, and high quality among gold bullion coins. We also guarantee that your sovereign will contain exactly 3.99 grams of fine gold with a 22 karat purity.
Sovereigns were known as "the chief coins of the world" across the British Empire, and they were at the heart of the classical gold standard, playing an important role in international finance and trade. More than 20 countries used sovereign gold coins as legal tender currency during the eighteenth century, illustrating their global significance.
Gold is a safe haven asset in an investment portfolio, making it a popular choice for both short-term and long-term investors, especially during uncertain times as an investment decision.
Please note that when purchasing these half sovereigns, we cannot guarantee the availability of a specific monarch or year; we operate on a 'lucky dip' basis on what is available at the time of purchase.
Additionally, be advised that although the sovereigns come in new capsules, due to being in circulation for many years they may exhibit some general wear and tear.

The Royal Mint
The Royal Mint is one of the oldest and most respected government institutions of Great Britain. Its long operating history, by some estimates over 1100 years, and coupled with its production of many of the world’s most famous coins, like the gold sovereign, has contributed to making it one of the best known and renowned mints in the world. Since 1279 when the mint established its operation in the Tower of London, it has been responsible for the production of coins of the United Kingdom. Its reputation for excellence and trust was further reinforced when Sir Isaac Newton became Master of the Royal Mint. During his tenure at the Royal Mint, he was responsible for moving the British pound to the gold standard.
Today the Royal Mint is not only responsible for minting coins used for circulation in the UK, but is likewise producing official coinage for more than 60 countries in the world. However, the most important and renowned coin ever to come out of its minting presses has without doubt been the sovereign gold coin which even today is being produced at its minting facility in the town of Llantrisant, Wales, UK. The accuracy and quality of the modern gold sovereign coin is the same as it was two hundred years ago, containing 22 karats of fine gold and weighing exactly 7.98805 grams. The popularity of the gold sovereign has likewise not changed, as confirmed in 2014 when the Royal Mint ran out of 2014 sovereign gold coins due to exceptional demand. The gold sovereign is without doubt one of the foremost gold coins ever to be produced and the fact that almost 100,000,000 sovereigns gold coins have been minted since 1957 is a testament to their excellence and trustworthiness. The reputation of the gold sovereign coin as “the chief coin of the world” will live on for centuries, as savvy investors will always prefer to keep a portion of their wealth in gold coins which are secure, liquid and trustworthy.
