Gold coins minted in the UK have long proved a popular choice, appealing to both bullion investors as well as collectors. British gold coins such as the Royal Mint’s flagship coin, the Sovereign, as well as the UK Britannia, remain some of the most widely traded gold bullion coins. But what makes them so appealing?

As Covid-19 continues to affect every aspect of the global economy, fears of recession have resulted in cautious investment decisions. In a bid to avoid becoming victims of the current market volatility, investors have now turned to safe-haven assets to relieve the pressure and contain risk.
