1958 Gold Sovereign

[LuigiFI]

Hello everyone,

I recently found this coin among my grandfather's belongings and I'm trying to determine whether it's authentic or a reproduction. From my online research, it appears this type of coin could have some value, but I'm not experienced enough to distinguish a genuine piece from a replica.

Could you please help me assess its authenticity?

Any guidance on what specific details I should look for, or whether this might need professional authentication, would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your expertise!

Hello,

can you measure the exact weight and diameter?

Good Evening @LuigiFI, accordingly to the opinion of several Forum users, the coin you have presented should be false. In addition to the weight and the measurement of the coin, you could also try to check if the coin is attracted to a magnet. Thank you.

The appearance is the classic fake one, highlighted in particular by the dull colour and the appearance of prolonged use.
