A model of mass-produced accuracy that circulated throughout the British Empire, not even The Sovereign could escape the devastating impact of the First World War. Handed into the government to help fund the war effort or melted down by profiteers, gold coins disappeared from circulation never to return. Reflecting on these era-defining events, we present this two-coin set containing Sovereigns dated 1914 and 1918. Together, they mark the start and end of a conflict that affected every part of society and changed the United Kingdom forever.
