The gold pound is one of the most famous and appreciated coins in the world, both for its historical value and for its market as a safe investment.
In this article, we will explore the bull market of the gold pound and present the new catalog “La Sterlina d’Oro Edizioni Unificato,” a fundamental tool for collectors and investors.
What is the gold pound
The gold sovereign, also known as “Sovrana,” is a British coin first minted in 1489 and reintroduced in 1817 with the British monetary reform. Weighing approximately 7.98 grams with a purity of 22 carats (916.66 thousandths), it represents a benchmark in the world of bull and bear gold investment coins. Its production has also extended over time to other countries that have adopted the weight/standard of the sovereign, such as Australia, South Africa, India, and many others.
The bull market of the gold pound
The value of the gold pound is primarily linked to the international price of gold, quoted daily on the London Bullion Market. The coin is very liquid and easily tradable, appreciated for its stability and global recognizability. The market develops through both physical channels, such as specialized shops and numismatic fairs, and online.
The gold pound is used as a tool for portfolio diversification and protection against inflation and economic crises. Its price varies based on weight, purity, condition, and, in some cases, numismatic value. The ease of exchange and the historical significance of the coin make it a highly sought-after asset by both small and large investors.

For those who wish to deepen their knowledge and collection of gold sovereigns, the catalog “La Sterlina d’Oro Edizioni Unificato” represents a valuable resource. Published in 2024, this volume gathers and classifies all the gold sovereigns produced from 1817 to today by 34 countries, with color images, detailed descriptions, and updated quotations.
