All genuine British Sovereign coins produced since 1817 are made from 22 carat gold.
Unfortunately, there are many counterfeit coins around that will be made from anything but gold.
Also, there are many "facsimile" coins around. These are legally made coins which resemble the real thing, but should have a marking on them indicating that they are a "facsimile" coin.
