A former gold coin typically refers to a currency that was once minted primarily from gold and used as legal tender but is no longer in circulation. Many countries issued gold coins historically, which were often valued for both their metal content and as currency. Today, former gold coins are often collected for their historical significance, numismatic value, or intrinsic gold content. Examples include the American Eagle, the British Sovereign, and various ancient coins.

The coin has a diameter of 32.77 mm and a weight of 33.93 grams, with a rich gold hue that reflects its 22-karat gold composition.
