Best Value Victoria Young Head Shield Sovereign Coins.
These 22 carat gold bullion sovereigns are exempt from capital gains tax and are our lowest premium shield sovereigns. Although these coins are classified as bullion, the coin you receive may be in a better than bullion condition.
Shield sovereigns are often more desirable to collectors than the St George and the dragon reverse coins, as they were only produced from 1838 until 1887.
This coin comes loose. You can purchase a 22.5mm capsule to protect it, or add a presentation case or gift box to your order in the basket for the perfect present.
All gold bullion sovereigns are bought and sold based on their metal content. There may be wear and edge knocks on the coins which does not take away from the technical specifications. If you wish to buy a better condition coin, please browse through our graded sovereigns.
As these are "our choice" of coin, the year will vary. This allows us to offer these shield sovereigns at very competitive premiums.
The obverse shows the young head portrait of Queen Victoria. It was designed by William Wyon.
The reverse displays a crowned shield of the Royal Arms. It was designed by Jean Baptiste Merlen and was used on sovereigns from 1838 until 1887.
