About gold coins
Sovereign coins are minted by national governments, carry a face value, and trade at premiums shaped by mintage, year, and condition. Their guaranteed weight and purity make them the easiest products to compare across dealers.
How we rank
Every dealer listing is measured as premium = (dealer price − spot value) / spot value, where spot value is the live gold price times the product's weight. Prices refresh hourly; anything older than 24 hours is hidden.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the cheapest gold coin right now?
Austrian 100 Coronas Gold at APMEX, $4,581.45 (0.1% under spot over spot).
Why do coins carry different premiums?
Sovereign coin premiums reflect mintage, year, condition, and recognition value. Limited-mintage years and proof finishes carry markups well above bullion content; bulk-mintage current-year coins tend to track spot more tightly.
How often do prices update?
Dealer prices refresh hourly. Listings older than 24 hours are hidden so the ranking reflects today's market.
