From the throes of WWI: George V 1917 Sovereign
In 1917, Britain found itself deeply entrenched in the throes of World War I, facing both military and societal challenges. During the First World War, the government decided to move large quantities of gold Sovereigns into the gold reserve held by the Bank of England, to help pay off the debt owed to the United States, resulting in huge numbers being melted down.
Not only is the 1917 Sovereign now extraordinarily rare, it represents a vitally important part of history, making it a must for any collector.
Here’s why the UK 1917 Gold Sovereign is a CPM Prestige recommendation:
- A genuine Sovereign struck over 100 years ago
- Struck in the year our Royal family changed to the House of Windsor
- Only a small number available for CPM Prestige collectors
- Struck from 22 Carat Gold to the same specification as today’s Sovereigns
- Features King George V’s portrait on the obverse
Due to it’s rarity, this is the first time CPM Prestige has been able to offer the 1917 Sovereign, but there are only a small number available.
