Collect sovereign Gold coins that feature the art of acclaimed designer Benedetto Pistrucci.

Well before designing these sovereign Edward VII Gold coins as chief engraver at the Royal Mint, Benedetto Pistrucci earned a living carving cameos and engraving gems in Rome. Once he moved to London in 1815, hardly any time passed before he had established himself once again as a leading cameo designer, and this led to his appointment as chief engraver. Pistrucci’s design of these Gold coins represented a new approach to traditional British coin design, and many feel his design may have been influenced by classical Greece marble carvings.

When investing in these Gold sovereign coins, how does their value measure up against paper currency?

Many investors compare Gold coins to paper currency, and arrive at the point of view that Gold is the better choice in terms of value. “As Gold coins has risen in value over the last decade, the U.S. dollar has declined,” according to an article from Money Crashers. This pattern makes Gold coins and other Gold holdings more valuable to own. Diversifying your portfolio by buying Gold and other Precious Metal products is considered by many financial planners to be a wise plan for preserving wealth when the economy falters.

British Gold Sovereign coins featuring King Edward VII are far less common than the Gold Sovereigns of King George V or Queen Elizabeth II.
