£805.00

Our Best Value Elizabeth II Young Head gold Sovereigns. Sometimes referred to as the Gillick Sovereigns, these coins are great for investors and collectors looking for coins from the start of Her Majesty’s historic reign.

This Gold Sovereign features the first portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Often referred to as the ‘Young Head’ or ‘pre-decimal’ portrait, these Gold Sovereigns are dated from 1957 to 1968 (with the exception of 1960/61).

The coin features St. George riding a horse and slaying a dragon on the obverse (front) and the young Elizabeth on the reverse. In this portrait the Queen is wearing the Laureate crown, also known as a laurel wreath. While her portrait was officially used from 1953 onwards, gold sovereigns began using this First Portrait of Elizabeth in 1957, with those coins having a finer milled edge than sovereigns produced from 1958 onwards.

These are ideal bullion coin for British investors because they are exempt of Capital Gains Tax and VAT Free.

Mixed year COINS
Mixed year coins are best value coins. We would supply a mixed variety of coins based on availability.

These coins have been circulated and hence may carry some cosmetic wear or marks.  This does NOT affect value of gold in the coin, as the value is based on fineness of gold and weight.

We are committed to ensuring the value of gold we supply and hence we put each pre-owned item through rigorous testing. Testing involves checking for weight via calibrated industrial scales and purity using a NITON XRF gun analyzer.
