The Start and End of WWI Sovereign Pair
Sovereigns issued during World War One are significant to collectors, and inevitably hard to come by. But none more so than the 1914 and 1918 issues, representing the beginning and end of the Great War – a vitally important part of history.
However, just a handful of collectors will have the chance to secure this incredible Sovereign pair, so here’s why they are a must-have for any collection:
- Struck from 22 Carat Gold to the same specification as today’s Sovereigns
- Original Sovereigns from the start and end of WWI would have been struck in branch mints across the British Empire
- Used by allied troops as bargaining tools if captured
- Rumoured to have been used by Lawrence of Arabia to sway Arab tribes to join the Allied fight
- Limited numbers available...
As a pair of Sovereigns, it’s hard to find more historically significant issues than those of 1914 and 1918.
Considering the limited availability, this coin will only available to secure through our team of numismatic specialists.
