Behind Enemy Lines - 1990-91 Gulf War Gold Sovereign

During WW2 gold sovereigns were included in the survival kit of SOE agents. This concept was reintroduced for the first Gulf war. Sovereigns were issued to British personnel deemed as at risk of being stranded 'behind enemy lines' i.e. SAS or RAF pilots, the coins could be used as bargaining power. After the war all uncaptured coins were returned to the MOD. This collection includes an actual issued coin with certificate of authenticity signed by General Sir Peter de la Billiere, as well as copy miniature medals and booklet. This is a great investment opportunity.
