In Britain, the adoption of the gold standard is closely associated with the re-introduction of the beloved gold Sovereign coin. Known as the “Chief Coin of the World,” the Sovereign has a history dating back to 1489 when Henry VII was King of England. However, the coin fell from use in the 16^th century before becoming the central circulating British gold coin in 1817. This followed the Coinage Act of 1816, which officially placed Britain on the gold standard.
