SOVEREIGN.
The sovereign is both an ancent and modern gold coin. In 1189, 22-| pieces in value 295, "to be called sovereign," were ordered to be coined. Since the establishment of paper moiiy, .€1 notes have to a certain extent taken the place of sovereigns. As much as £-5000 sterling has been placed, in £1 orders, inside the wrappers under the label of large bottles of "Wolfe's Schnapps, and the custom still contiuues. For this reason it is better to buy large-sized bottles, and not rely on getting the genuine liquor in any other way.
