FAQs

A double sovereign case is a compact pocket container crafted in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras to securely hold gold sovereign and half-sovereign coins. These containers were typically carried on a watch chain or inside a waistcoat pocket.

Sovereign cases were predominantly manufactured from sterling silver, gold, or silver-plated brass. Internal components usually featured fitted brass or steel spring mechanisms designed to keep coins firmly positioned.

Authentic silver pieces feature official British assay office hallmarks, including the sterling silver lion passant, a town mark, date letter, and makers initials. Edwardian examples often display hand-engraved foliate scrolls and dedicated cartouches.

In modern settings, sovereign cases are frequently worn as pendant charms on silver chains or displayed within curio collections, desktop accessory bowls, and shadow boxes.

Clean silver sovereign cases periodically using a dry, soft cotton cloth or a specialized silver polishing cloth to control tarnish. Avoid submerging spring mechanisms in liquid cleaners to prevent internal corrosion.
