Collection of 10 British Gold Sovereigns, 1877-1919

Story

During the late 19th century, the British Gold Sovereign was known as the 'chief coin of the world,' accepted as legal tender in almost every corner of the globe.

Maker / Origin

The Royal Mint is one of the world's oldest and most prestigious institutions, with a history stretching back over 1,100 years.

Condition & Value

The coins show signs of being 'ex-jewelry,' specifically the small jump rings soldered to the edges. This modification constitutes permanent damage to a coin collector, but for a jewelry lover, it preserves the history of the piece. The gold itself shows expected wear from its time as a bracelet.
