Our choice of a gold Double Sovereign (£2) in good to fair condition. The Double Sovereign has a long and varied history.
The Double Sovereign is the same weight and denomination as the British £2 coin, so they are considered to be one and the same. From 1980, we can see releases of the gold £2 coin/Double Sovereign on a regular basis. 1986 was the first year that a base metal £2 coin was released to celebrate the Commonwealth games. We receive many calls each year from people who have one of these coins believing them to be gold. Although there is a gold version of the 1986 £2 coin, if you find one in your change, it probably isn't gold, in our experience.
This product will be our choice of any £2 coin/Double Sovereign. These coins contain 14.63 grams of pure gold. Due to their status as British Legal tender they are Capital Gains Tax Free (CGT Exempt), so they are a great choice for British investors.
As the Double Sovereign £2 coin has featured a range of designs over the years, you may not receive the exact coin as pictured, but rest assured you will receive a great looking coin. This may feature the George & Dragon design, or a commemorative design depending on stock.
If you do require a specific design please see our Specific Year 2 Pound Gold Coins and our Proof £2 coins.
