It was the second of the &quot;James Bond&quot; films with Sean Connery as the British secret agent. In the film, Bond is sent to Istanbul to meet a beautiful Russian spy.</p><p><br /></p><p>There was a scene early in the film where Bond&#039;s chief hands him an attache case with some devices, including straps containing &quot;fifty gold sovereigns&quot;. The coins were clear enough to show the head of young Elizabeth II.</p><p><br /></p><p>At that time Americans could not legally own gold coins (with some exceptions), and I could not have afforded one then anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>About two years ago I purchased one at a coin show.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
