Crafted from silver, this antique double sovereign case has stood the test of time. The case is elegantly engraved with the letters JMC and opens to reveal two spring-mounted holding plates to each hold a sovereign. The Double Sovereign Case is timeless in purpose and will continue as a holder of heirloom coins. The case is beautifully stamped with the Old English hallmarks, and brings with it a world of nostalgia. It would double as a charming pendant, even without holding coins.
