M10wew Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 I have been searching for information Can some one tel me what the AC means on this st George coin. The coin is mounted in a ring and dated 1937 U don't think it's a soverign tho on the reverse side is a cover protecting the other face of the coin. Sorry for poor pics Quote
Sword Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 No, a real sovereign would not have those initials. My opinion is that the initials could be "AG" (Ag) meaning it is silver. Alternatively, it could be the initials of the person who copied the design of a real sovereign for use in the "sovereign style" rings. If the ring is hallmarked gold, then the "coin" might have some gold content too. 1 Quote
M10wew Posted January 19, 2019 Author Posted January 19, 2019 Think I need to get it un mounted and take some proper pics It's dated 1937 This was found in my late father's stuff with some other soverigns Why would someone mount a copied soverign ? Thanks for your help Quote
VickySilver Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 No telling motives but just the snippet posted screams "fake"! Quote
Nicholas Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Yes slightly stylised horse design - so reproduction I’d say (by AC?) Quote
Paddy Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 I would say "fake" is a little too strong. These things are often referred to as "jeweller's copies". They are not designed to deceive, just provide a means of producing a sovereign-style ring or other piece of jewellery at a much lower price. Usually they are in 9 Ct gold, sometimes not even that. No point unmounting it as it's only value above scrap is as a piece of jewellery. Quote
