2024 Bullion Half Sovereigns

2024 gold half sovereigns are a great choice for investors interested in adding small amounts of gold bullion to their precious metals portfolios. Investment gold is VAT free and historically has been seen as a safe haven in times of economic uncertainty. 

Royal Mint Official Partner

Chards is an official partner of The Royal Mint, and our products are directly sourced from their mint headquarters in Llantrisant, Wales. These new 2024 sovereign coins are one of the most popular choice among British bullion coins and are priced competitively with some of the lowest premiums on the market.

History of the Gold Sovereigns

The English sovereign was first issued as a gold hammered coin in 1489 for the King Henry VII. Designed by German engraver, Alexander of Bruchsal, the obverse featured the King in his coronation robes seated upon his throne, symbolising the power, success and splendour of the fledgling Tudor dynasty.

Although the first British gold sovereign was issued in 1489 for Henry VII, the modern gold sovereign was first struck in 1817 under George III. Issued with a nominal value of one pound, it was a circulation coin in Britain until the middle of World War I and abroad until 1932. The sovereign was reintroduced in 1957 as an investment coin to meet demand for gold bullion.

Today, the vast majority of British gold sovereigns showcase Benedetto Pistrucci's St George and the dragon design on the reverse, paired with various monarchs over time. Notably, following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, His Majesty King Charles III now graces the obverse of the sovereigns, including the 2022 memorial sovereigns, the 2023 Coronation sovereigns, and the new 2024 sovereign range.

Shop Bullion Sovereigns

Are you interested in browsing our complete range of bullion sovereign coins, featuring either the classic reverse design of St. George and the dragon by Benedetto Pistrucci, or special one-off designs to commemorate occasions such as British monarch jubilees.

Since 1489, many British monarchs have had sovereign coins issued under their reign, featuring their likeness on the obverse side of the British sovereign coin. The most recent monarch to be featured being His Majesty King Charles III, following the passing of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II.

What Is Capital Gains Tax?

Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is a form of levies imposed on the profit garnered from the sale of assets, such as real estate, investments, and collectibles. In the United Kingdom, the present CGT allowance is £3,000 per annum per individual, which implies that one can earn up to £3,000 from the sale of assets prior to being subject to CGT. Read our CGT guide for more information to see what bullion coins are exempt from CGT and the ones which are.

Obverse

The obverse shows a depiction of His Majesty King Charles III uncrowned, facing to the left, by Martin Jennings.

An inscription reads as the following:

· CHARLES III · DEI · GRA · REX · FID · DEF ·

Reverse

The reverse design features the traditional St George and the dragon design by Benedetto Pistrucci, depicting George valiantly slaying the dragon.
