The British Sovereign coinage has been made from 22 carat gold since its reintroduction into the currency in 1817.
The Sovereign has a face value of One Pound and was used as currency until the early 20th century when Britain came off the "gold standard", and the Sovereign was replaced with the One Pound note.
These days, the Sovereign coinage produced by the Royal Mint is exclusively a collector coin with a price reflecting the value of the gold used to make it.
