A Gold Sovereign is a gold coin first issued in 1489 for Henry VII of England and still in production as of 2010. It derives the name sovereign since that first gold sovereign showed an image of the king seated on the throne. The sovereign was primarily an official piece of bullion with no mark of value anywhere on the coin itself. There is a large selection of Gold Sovereign coins or related items for sale on eBay at great prices. Plus, eBay is one of the highest rated online shopping sites in the world. The Gold Sovereign offers an excellent way to invest some of your money into gold coins or gold bullion. Gold sovereign coins are seen as a good investment since they always retain the value of the gold content, which may vary, as well as some numismatic value to coin collectors. Gold Sovereigns are widely recognized as one of the most common gold coins, they contain less gold than the Krugerrand which contains a full ounce of pure gold, which makes them more liquid, or in other words easier to sell. Gold, silver, and other precious metals have always been seen as a store of wealth, since its scarcity and universal acceptance as a unit of payment mean that it can never go out of fashion. This is understandable when you consider that in older times wealthy traders may take their coins and have them melted down and turned into useful or decorative objects, such as drinking vessels, etc. Their affluence, it also allowed them to take the gold or silver object to the local mint, melt it down, & turn it back into the same number of gold coins or silver coins that they had owned previously if times became harder.
Due to this reason gold sovereigns, gold coins, and other items made from precious metals are often turned to in times of economic uncertainty (like now!) as an alternative way of holding money. Not only do gold sovereigns look far more attractive than paper money, they are a good hedge against inflation, and against weakening currencies. If you want to buy 1 ounce of gold you could buy 1 krugerrand, which would mean paying the premium over the market price of gold, plus a small premium for the actual coins value, or you would buy 4 sovereigns at the same premium over the market price for gold, plus 4 lots of numismatic value, one for each coin.

Gold Sovereign Number question by General Charlie: Difficult maths problem, quite a challenge....?
If you could give answer + working out please ![]()
Three people (Alan, Ben and Chris), collectively own a certain number of gold sovereigns.
Respectively they own a half, one third and one sixth of the total number.
All the sovereigns were piled on a table and each of them grabbed a part of the pile so
that none were left.
After a short time:
Alan returned half of the sovereigns that he had taken.
Ben returned a third of what he had taken.
Chris returned one sixth of what she had taken.
Finally each of the three got an equal amount of what had been returned to the table.
Surprisingly, each person had exactly the number of sovereigns that really belonged to them.
What is the smallest number of sovereigns that this strange transaction will work for?
How much did each person grab from the pile?
Gold Sovereign Number best answer:
Answer by :]
To find the solution to this problem I started by finding expressions for the amount owned by Alan, Ben and Chris (A, B and C respectively) in terms of the total number (T). This gave:
A=T 2
B=T 3
C=T 6
So A=3B 2
A=3C
B=2C
I then found how many were returned to the table, in terms of the number they each grabbed (a ,b and g respectively):
(a 2+b 3+g 6)=(3a+2b+g) 6
Then A, B and C in terms of a , b and g :
A=a 2+(3a+2b+g) 18
B=2b 3+(3a+2b+g) 18
C=5g 6+(3a+2b+g) 18
( where (3a+2b+g) 18 is an equal share of the amount returned to the table )
A=(12a+2b+g) 18
B=(3a+14b+g) 18
C=(3a+2b+16g) 18
Knowing the relationships between A and B; A and C; and B and C, I found the simultaneous equations:
15a?38b?g=0
3a?4b?47g=0
3a?10b+31g=0
These did not have a unique solution but gave:
b=13g
a=33g
Putting these into the expressions for A, B, C and T gave:
A=47g 2
B=47g 3
C=47g 6
T=47g
The lowest value of g that these will give a whole number of sovereigns for is 6, in which case:
T=282
A=141
B=94
C=47
a=198
b=78
g=6
So Alan grabbed 198, Ben grabbed 78 and Chris grabbed 6.
