FAQs

A double sovereign case was designed in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras to hold both full and half British gold sovereigns securely for daily use, incorporating spring-loaded internal coin holders.

These items were predominantly crafted from hallmarked sterling silver, gold, or silver plate, utilizing interior steel spring components to support the coins.

Authentic British examples feature official assay hallmarks including a fineness mark, town mark, date letter, and makers mark, accompanied by functioning internal coin mechanisms and side catches.

Sovereign cases are frequently repurposed today as pendant necklaces, suspended from watch chains, or displayed in collector vitrines alongside silver pocket accessories.

The exterior silver should be polished gently with a specialized silver polishing cloth, taking care to keep liquids away from the internal mechanisms to prevent rust to the steel springs.
