As bullion coins, the respective values of these coins are determined by their gold content, which is reflected in their size. As British legal tender these coins do have nominal face values, but these do not accurately reflect the true worth of a Sovereign as a bullion coin. As well as being beautiful coins with a rich connection to British and world history, Sovereigns are popular investments due to their fine gold content and international recognisability.
