Why 22K Gold Dominates in UK

22K is the karat of the British gold sovereign — the classic coin, struck since 1817, is 22K (91.67% gold), and it remains the most traded gold coin in Britain. 22K is also the karat of the UK's large South Asian community, whose jewellers on London's Green Street, in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter and in every major city sell 22K bridal and everyday gold.

What 22K Gold Is Used For

Gold sovereigns (22K, CGT-exempt as legal tender) and South Asian bridal and everyday jewellery.

How to Buy 22K Gold in UK

Sovereigns and Britannias are exempt from UK capital gains tax because they are legal tender, and investment gold is VAT-exempt — two reasons 22K sovereigns are Britain's most popular gold buy. For 22K jewellery, check the 916 hallmark from a UK assay office (London, Birmingham, Sheffield or Edinburgh) and compare making charges between jewellers.
