Share your coin challenge: The Gold Sovereign

SOURCE

Share your "SOVEREIGN" gold coin and potentially get a healthy upvote from the #silvergoldstackers community members. Not feeling very creative and lacking ideas on what to post??? Then simply share this weeks coin(s) of choice and save yourself a lot of hassle.

The British gold sovereigns are highly respected and collectible due to their historical significance, iconic design, and the fact that they contain a high amount of gold. These coins were initially used as currency, but their value quickly surpassed their face value due to their gold content, making them a valuable asset for collectors and investors alike.

The design of the British gold sovereign features an image of the reigning monarch on the obverse side, while the reverse side features a depiction of Saint George slaying a dragon. This design has remained relatively unchanged since 1817, adding to the collectibility and historical significance of the coin.

• tell the back story of where, when and how much you paid

Once again, I will apologise if i missed your entry for last week challenge. This is a brand new challenge so i suppose I had better think of a catchy hashtag to make your entries easier to find. Maybe we could use #welshie or should we just stick to #silvergoldstackers??

Findi g out more about an individuals "stack" and the reasons why they purchase specific coins helps us all understand each other more. Its very personal, but allows us as a community to bond and get to know each other better.

For that exact purpose, i chose the #steemsilverround (s) as last weeks challenge coin. Whilst lots of you would love to put our past endeavours behind us, for me, forgetting where we came from, and how we got here, makes the rest of our journey together to bigger and better a little less meaningful.

One person definitely took part, and i thank you Hive account@silversaver888
