<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 24487160, member: 101855&quot;]The only English gold coins that were issued during George VI&#039;s reign were those in his 1937 coronation set. The Great Depression was part of it, but it was more likely due to World War II. After the war, England was pretty much broke. The empire was falling apart, and the war had buried the treasury in debt. In addition, the British people were demanding more services. They elected a elected socialist government which pushed Winston Churchill out of office.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1937 coronation gold set is beautiful, but very pricey. The official word is that 5,500 sets were issued.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1550382[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The sovereign coin from that set is not cheap.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1550383[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
