As the Sovereign is one of the best recognised gold coins worldwide. It comes as no surprise that during war time serviceman are given gold sovereigns to carry with them. If they were to get captured behind enemy lines they will have something with the power of gold to bargain with and hopefully get themselves out of trouble.
During the Gulf War the Ministry of Defence issued British military personnel with a number of gold sovereigns to carry with them. Several sovereigns were carried during the conflict particularly used by the Royal Air Force due to the high risk of crews been shot down behind enemy lines and getting confronted by enemy forces.

All the unused coins have of course now been returned to the Ministry of Defence which has lead to the release of the Behind Enemy Lines Gulf War Box Set. The set which is very collectable is minted by The Royal Mint includes a 1958 genuine solid 22k full Sovereign as well as two replica gulf medals.
