1 Pound - Charles III 1/20 oz Fine Gold

The one-pound gold piece occupies an odd constitutional corner: it is legal tender, yet its face value bears no relationship to its bullion content. This fiction has been maintained deliberately since the Royal Mint revived the gold sovereign series — the nominal value provides legal standing without implying anything about worth. The .9999 fineness here is fractionally purer than the traditional sovereign standard of .9167, a quiet modernization that distinguishes the bullion program from its historic predecessors.
