£2 Double Sovereigns
| Browse our selection of British £2 Double Sovereign Gold Coins, struck by The Royal Mint in 22-carat gold. Also known as Double Sovereigns, these coins contain twice the gold content of a full sovereign, making them one of the most substantial and sought-after denominations in the Sovereign series. The Double Sovereign was first introduced in 1820 as part of the original sovereign system and was historically intended as a higher-value gold coin equivalent to two standard sovereigns. Although only issued intermittently in its early history, the modern £2 Double Sovereign has become a highly popular collector and investment coin, especially in proof and commemorative formats. Each coin carries a face value of £2 and is legal tender in the United Kingdom. Struck to the highest Royal Mint standards, Double Sovereigns weigh approximately 15.98 grams and feature iconic designs such as Benedetto Pistrucci’s St George and the Dragon, along with modern commemorative reverses celebrating royal milestones and special editions. This category includes a wide selection of £2 Double Sovereign gold coins, including:
Double Sovereigns are highly desirable due to their larger gold content, limited mintages, and strong collector demand. Many examples are independently graded, with top-condition coins (PR69–PR70 and MS69–MS70) commanding strong premiums in the numismatic market. Whether you are building a Sovereign collection, investing in larger-format British gold coins, or searching for rare Royal Mint proof issues, this category offers one of the most important denominations in the Sovereign series.
