1892 gold sovereign

I came across a victoria 1892 gold sovereign at work. I took it in to a coin broker and had it test at 18 karat gold rather than 22 which its supposed to be 22. I was wondering if anyone has came across something similar because the weight is spot on, its just a different karat. Maybe its just a very convincing replica? What do you guys think?

I had a similar issue with a Cali Fractional and in the end we figured it was a replica made for cufflinks or similar jewelry

 

Hope its not the case but at least its worth melt if anything haha

 

Yes copies made for jewelry.
