FAQs

During the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, double sovereign cases were portable metal containers designed to securely carry gold sovereign coins and folded banknotes inside a waistcoat pocket.

These cases were typically crafted from sterling silver or silver-gilt, featuring spring-loaded internal coin compartments and a hinged lid secured by a side push-button clasp.

Authentic British pieces bear hallmarks indicating silver purity, assay office location, date letter, and makers mark, usually stamped on the interior rim or outer casing.

Sovereign cases are frequently repurposed as statement pendants on heavy necklaces, attached to Albert watch chains, or displayed in antique accessory collections.

Gently wipe the exterior with a dry microfibre cloth or silver polishing cloth, avoiding immersion in liquid cleaners to protect the internal steel springs from corrosion.
