The obverse carries the first definitive portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings.
This example has been certified by NGC as PF70 Ultra Cameo, confirming its flawless quality under magnification with pristine surfaces and superb cameo contrast.

Precious Metal Price Fluctuations

Please note that the prices of precious metals, such as gold and silver, are subject to fluctuations due to market conditions. As a result, the price of our bullion products can change frequently.

When you place an order, the price is locked in at the time of purchase, ensuring you pay the agreed amount regardless of any subsequent market movements.

We recommend acting quickly if you see a price that suits your investment strategy, as prices can vary significantly in a short period.

Buying New or Preowned Gold and Silver

At Sovara Coins, we offer both new and preowned gold and silver products to suit various investment strategies. Purchasing preowned bullion can be a cost-effective option, as it often comes with a lower premium over the spot price, allowing you to maximize your investment.

While preowned items may show minor signs of wear, such as scratches, milk spots or tarnishing, they are sold strictly as bullion, with their precious metal content fully guaranteed. Whether you choose new or preowned, you can be confident in the quality and authenticity of our products.
