British Sovereigns are probably the most widely owned and recognized pre-1933 gold coins. They have been nicknamed the “gold survival coin” and the U.S. Army even included them as part of its special forces survival pack for years. These beautiful gold coins depict St. George slaying a dragon on the reverse and the monarch on the front.
Each Sovereign contains 0.2354 troy ounces of gold.
