<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 3630385, member: 101855&quot;]It is a counterfeit gold sovereign. I have something similar to it that I bought many years ago thinking that it was real. My piece has a “SA” South Africa mint mark.</p><p><br /></p><p>From what I have read, these pieces were made to fill the gap for a shortage of sovereigns that existed at the time. They were made of gold and were used in commerce. Today it is probably worth no more than its melt or scrap value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
