1988-Gold Sovereign Collection

More Info

VAT was abolished on investment gold coins from January 1st 2000. All gold sovereigns are now exempt from VAT

Proof only coins were produced for 1988 gold sovereigns. There was no ordinary uncirculated version issued in 1988.

Proofs are specially struck coins, with a highly polished mirror finished background, and the raised design in contrasting matt finish. They are issued as limited editions, and are more expensive than the ordinary uncirculated version.

They are unnecessarily good for use in jewellery, which would ruin their special finish in a very short space of time, but they are ideal for the person who would prefer to keep them as a memento or family heirloom.
Our current price for the proof version is as follows:-
