{"product_id":"vintage-rolled-gold-sovereign-case-victorian","title":"Vintage Rolled Gold Sovereign Case - Victorian","description":"\u003cp\u003eA wonderful piece of history, this authentic 1900s Vintage Sovereign Case is a classic example of early 20th-century gentleman's accessories. Before the widespread use of paper money, gold sovereign and half-sovereign coins were standard currency. These clever cases were designed to hold the coins securely and dispense them one at a time, typically carried in a waistcoat pocket and attached to a gentleman's Albert watch chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular case is crafted in rolled gold, a highly durable technique popular during the Victorian and Edwardian eras where a thick layer of solid gold is bonded over a brass or base metal core. The case features elegant engine-turned engraving with a central polished cartouche, opening smoothly to reveal the coin mechanism inside. Today, sovereign cases are highly collectible and look striking when repurposed as a large, textural pendant worn on a long gold chain, or attached to an antique fob necklace for a truly authentic vintage look.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSovereign Case Size: 30mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is an estate item and comes with a one year guarantee.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43785853894744,"sku":"033-00118","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1319\/9109\/files\/033-00113_VINTAGE_CC1copy.jpg?v=1771816334","url":"https:\/\/walkerandhall.co.nz\/products\/vintage-rolled-gold-sovereign-case-victorian","provider":"Walker \u0026 Hall","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
