1890s James Benson Sovereign Coin Holder

Antique British sovereign coin holder dating to the late 19th-early 20th century (circa 1890-1900s) attributed to James Benson, a respected British jeweler known for quality small silver and metal wares of the period. 

Designed to securely house a British gold sovereign, these holders were carried as protective pocket cases while allowing easy access. The hinged construction remains intact, and the piece shows honest age wear and patina consistent with over a century of use.
