Bullion Sovereigns like this carded example are minted to a historic specification in exactly 7.98 grams of 22-carat (91.67%) gold. That means that each 22.05 millimetre coin offers investors 0.2354 troy ounces of actual pure gold content.
Records show that The Royal Mint struck just 30,688 gold bullion Sovereigns in 2004, from a maximum mintage of 100,000. A smaller number of 2004 proof Sovereigns were also minted for collectors.
While most bullion Sovereigns are sold without any additional packaging, this pre-owned 2004 issue comes in an attractive printed presentation card which includes a built-in holder. Please note that the coin is not completely sealed and can easily be removed from the card.
