<p>[QUOTE="OldWhitby, post: 3818301, member: 17301"]I have this pair of cuff-links with what looks like miniature Gold Sovereigns on them. All of the details on the face of the coin are identical to a gold sovereign but they are only 1.1 cm in diameter. I can't find any reference to a British coin that small in any metal. My metal test kit is very old so I can't test them but they look like gold. They belonged to my father-in-law who is long dead and are in a Birk's box. For those not in Canada, Birk's was the premiere Jeweler/goldsmith company in Canada for more than 100 years and they did a lot of custom jewelry. There is a foil label inside the box which reads "1/20-14KT Gold Filled". I'm guessing that this refers to the mounts which seem to me to be long after George V reign.</p><p>Are these coins?
