gold sovereigns
Royal gold coins
Gold sovereigns are British gold coins worth one pound sterling, minted from the early nineteenth century onward.
They contain about a quarter ounce of gold and were once standard currency for international trade.
Today they're collected as bullion and investments: He inherited a small chest of gold sovereigns from his grandfather.
The singular is sovereign.
