Default Collector pays UK-record £1Million for rare coin

Only 6 were made.




The Edward Gold V111 1936 Coin
just 6 were made.


[The coin is one of a trial set of six
which never went into
mass production owing to
Edward's abdication in
December 1936.
It only has a face value of £1 but
is now the country's most valuable coin.
The 22 carat gold sovereign - a type
of coin which has not been struck
for general circulation
since 1932 - is just 22mm in diameter
and weighs 7.98g making it just
fractionally smaller and lighter
than a pound coin.]
