no, a couple more in there but the special ones did well😊

Considering the company it keeps, I assume the 1959 MS64 is a good grade for the year, right? I'm looking at the NGC population, there are only 30 coins graded higher (1xMS67, 7xMS66, 22xMS65) and there are in total 19x MS64. They're probably not easy to get hold of.

Today I received... This big beauty, with a diameter of 111mm, a thickness of 21mm and weighing 502gms, it's definitely a BIG Sovereign.  

So what's it worth..?

[AuricGoldfinger]

Is this real? Did not think Kilo Sovereign produced by Royal Mint? Probably a replica that is Gold plated therefore say £500.

No, its not hollow and doesn't open up...

I’m thinking some sort of display coin for the mint/dealers. 

Or a prototype, did the design change in 1985? Maybe the queens portrait did?

I'm almost tempted to give it to you, so close yet so far.  Anyone gets it spot on will receive a little something in the post... But it won't be the Giant Sovereign!

@1817Karl  I think it is plastic & worth about £25-£30 I was given a similar sized plastic Krugerrand in 1982 from my LCS for buying 4 real 1oz Krugs from them. The one I got was dated 1982 & had a felt obverse it was in their window as a display item. I used it as coaster.
