The British Sovereign and the Swiss Vreneli are two coins with a long tradition. In the following video, Tim Schieferstein, Managing Director of GoldSilberShop.de, explains what the two classic coins have in common and what their advantages and disadvantages are. The Managing Director of GoldSilberShop.de also talks about fractionals. https://www.goldsilbershop.de/soverei... 00:50 Introduction to Vreneli: The Vreneli was minted from 1897 to 1949. Accordingly, there are no freshly minted coins and the Vreneli is therefore not suitable for investors who want flawless coins. 01:54 Introduction to Sovereign: The Sovereign has been minted in its current form since 1817, but its origins go back to 1489. Since it is still minted today, there are also freshly minted coins of the Sovereign. 03:16 Comparison of Sovereign and Vreneli: Sovereign and Vreneli are both roughly the same size, but differ in terms of their fineness and fine weight. 05:00 Advantages of Sovereign and Vreneli: Both Sovereign and Vreneli have a long history and come from a time when currencies were still backed by gold. Another common advantage of the coins is their lower fineness compared to other coins, which makes them more robust. In addition, both coins are current coins and may therefore have an advantage if gold is banned. 08:49 Disadvantages of Sovereign and Vreneli: The lower fineness is not only an advantage, but also a disadvantage of the two traditional coins, as it makes both easier to counterfeit. In addition, both coins lack essential security features of other modern coins. In addition, neither coin has any collector's value. Accordingly, the prices for both are very dependent on the current gold price. 14:20 Advantages of Sovereigns over Vreneli: In times of high demand, Sovereigns are usually easier to obtain and at a lower price than Vreneli. 19:20 Sovereigns are cheaper than Fractionals: Coins of less than one ounce are usually referred to as Fractionals. However, these are rarely minted in times of high demand, which means that these coins are relatively expensive. Sovereigns are the cheaper choice here. #verenli #sovereign #kurantzmünzen #fractionals #goldmünzen #kleine_goldmünzen Buy Sovereign at GoldSilberShop.de: https://www.goldsilbershop.de/soverei...
