British Sovereign

Gold IRA Glossary

A historic British gold coin containing about 0.2354 troy ounces of 22 karat (.9167) gold, minted on and off since 1817. Its purity is below the .995 IRA minimum and it has no statutory exception, so Sovereigns are not IRA-eligible. They remain widely traded among collectors and bullion buyers outside retirement accounts.
