	Gold Sovereign Purses in Gold
		Sovereign Purses, usually made in silver, but occasionally in gold, were made to hold about five or six sovereigns.
		Sovereign purses were made in many different styles, from a simple plain single bank sovereign holder, more rarely a half sovereign, sometimes holding a pair of coin banks, sovereign and half sovereign.
		Of these, only six are in gold, and 33 are in silver, with a few in base metal.

		Gold Sovereigns were struck in the traditional 22karat (.917 fine gold) as were most gold coins made for circulation.
		Gold half-sovereigns were also minted, as were 2 pound and 5 pound versions (pound meaning English money, not the weight of the gold), but these coins are much scarcer and are not sold as bullion coins.
		Because of the popularity of the sovereign as a gold holding, and the sheer wealth and size of the British Empire at its height, we can offer these antique coins, in Extra Fine and better condition, at a price which is a small percentage over their actual gold value.

	Gold: The Sovereign Power of the Veto
		Franklin Roosevelt's answer was two-fold: (1) confiscate the gold of American citizens in 1933, and, once the gold had come in and had been turned over to the privately owned Federal Reserve System, (2) raise the price by 75% in 1934, thereby transferring to the FED a huge windfall profit.
		When it comes to gold standards, only one is real: a gold standard that has developed through voluntary exchange on a free market, in which counterfeiting is exclusively private and illegal under the statutes governing fraud.
		If, in the proposed version of the gold standard that someone is pitching, any agency of civil government is the sovereign guarantor of warehouse receipts to gold, redeemable on demand, I strongly suggest that you keep your hand upon your wallet and your back against the wall.

	Gold Soveriegn Information
		Sovereigns were then issued by Henry VIII and his son Edward VI, and "fine" sovereigns were issued by Mary and Elizabeth I. During Elizabeth I reign (1558-1603) however, the name fell into disuse and the gold coins of 20 shillings were known simply as pounds.
		In 1859 a consignment of gold arrived from the Australian gold fields, and was considered to brittle for use in coining because of the antimony,lead and arsenic it contained.
		Sovereigns were withdrawn from circulation in 1914 as banknotes were introduced into regular circulation but actual production at the Royal Mint stopped in 1917, although some were minted again in 1925, and within a few years, the gold sovereign ceased to be used in everyday transactions.

		Because gold was thereby set to buy more silver in England than it did in continental Europe, "Gresham Law" would compel speculators to buy gold on the continent, sell it in England, and take their proceeds in silver back to the continent for the next round of gold purchasing.
		Gold must be priced in something other than gold, otherwise every sale of gold would have to end up as exchange of equal amounts of gold, and that "something other than gold" must have full intrinsic value of its own if the honest money regime is to be maintained.
		Sovereign coin, consisting of 7.98805 grams of 22-carat gold, was worth 20 shilling coins, whose value was now defined as 1/20th of a gold sovereign because the silver content of one shilling was reduced below a shilling worth of silver.
