About this range

Buying gold coins from The Yard Mint

Sovereign bullion coins from official mints — Britannias and Sovereigns from The Royal Mint, Krugerrands from the South African Mint, and Pandas from China Mint — alongside select collectible and graded releases.

As legal tender, sovereign coins are easy to authenticate and easy to sell on, and UK-minted coins like Britannias and Sovereigns carry an added tax advantage for UK residents (see below). They cost a little more than bars gram-for-gram, in exchange for that liquidity.

For the lowest premium over spot, see our gold bars instead. For a lower entry point, gold notes start under £20.
