Amongst the most popular of british coins, they are available as full or half sovereigns. The full sovereigns contain about 7.98 gms of gold while the half sovereigns contains just under 4 gms of gold. We recommend the sovereigns that have been minted prior to  1935, although they all are spectacular coins and make for a great collection.
