Why?

You said it yourself. You want to gift them a sovereign because YOU like them, but will they appreciate the full meaning of getting a piece of gold like you and I would? Or would cash be more helpful for the newlyweds...

 

edit: I just saw that you can't give them cash? well then I guess there's nothing else left to do then.

Actually I know at least he has some bullion silver, not sure how much and possibly even gold but I don't know that. I think both know about fractional reserve banking as well, so I'm pretty confident they will like it. In any case I have already come to an agreement with backyard bullion about the bespoken silver heart. 

 

My concern was rather - if it had been gold - that it might outdo the gold of the wedding ring, so to speak.

As time goes on we both remember gifts that were different than the normal gifts given at any occasion. Different is good.

I think the bespoken silver heart has a good chance of being pretty distinctive from all other gifts they will get.
