Antique Sterling Silver Sovereign Coin Holder – Birmingham 1902
A highly collectible Edwardian sterling silver sovereign case, beautifully engraved with intricate foliate scrollwork and a central cartouche bearing a delicate monogram, inscribed "JLB" or "JIB". This refined piece captures the craftsmanship and practicality of early 20th-century design, originally intended to securely hold gold sovereign coins.
The case opens to reveal its functional interior, designed to dispense coins with ease—both a useful accessory of its time and a fascinating historical object today.
Pieces of this quality and condition are becoming progressively harder to source, particularly with hallmarks and intact functionality, making this an appealing acquisition. The decorative engraving and personal monogram add a unique and intimate character.
Condition: Very good antique condition with light surface wear consistent with age, some polish wear closer to the hinge near the bottom from use but doesn't detract from the overall appearance. The mechanisms are working well.
