A note on purity vs. gold content
Different sovereign coins use different purities — a Krugerrand or Gold Eagle is 22k (.9167) and alloyed for durability, while a Maple Leaf is .9999. In every case this listing delivers a coin containing 1/4 troy ounce of pure gold; the alloyed coins are simply slightly larger to hold the same gold.
