I think that most of the articles on coins in wikipedia need work in terms of fitting them into a meaningful heirarchy instead of unconnected articles. A tree structure thats starts at 'coin' and then braches into 'ancient and midieval' and 'modern'. From there 'modern' can be broken up into countries, while 'ancient and midieval' can be broken up into ruling authorites and such (Greek, Roman, Parthian, Celtic etc.)

I have no problem with that so long as a user who types in krugerrand still gets to the right place. Remember this is free and user driven! Although 21:17, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Could we be given some idea of the value of a sovereign? Since an indication is given that they are worth more than the raw value of the gold, what is their actual value? In pounds sterling?

How is it that we're calling this "impressive size" when it's 7/8ths of an inch in diameter, and maybe 1/32 of an inch thick? Does anyone have background for the "why it's called a Sovereign" statements?
