Gold value first
Both older and modern Sovereigns trade mainly on gold content. Rare dates or coins in exceptional condition can fetch more, but the gold value is the floor. The coin is VAT-free investment gold in Germany.
Comparisons
The Britannia (3,809.58 EUR) is the 1 oz British bullion coin; the Sovereign is a smaller unit with a higher premium per gram. Divide the price by 7.3224 g and compare with the gram price of 121.30 EUR.
Inherited Sovereigns
Inherited Sovereigns often span many years and monarchs. Note the date and portrait of each coin before getting quotes. Common coins can go straight to a bullion dealer; older or unusual ones deserve a numismatic opinion first. Do not clean them.
The German 20 Mark coin (907.80 EUR) is of a similar size and worth comparing per gram.
Dealers currently pay about 849.33 EUR for a common Sovereign, and the gold value sets the floor for older coins too.
