As a subject matter expert in numismatics and precious metals, I can provide you with the accurate weight of a sovereign coin.
A sovereign is a gold coin of the United Kingdom, with a nominal value of one pound sterling or another amount. The weight of a standard full sovereign coin is approximately 7.98805 grams. This weight can vary slightly due to minting processes and the purity of the gold used. The coin is typically made from a gold alloy that contains 91.67% gold, which is 22 carat gold.

The British Gold Sovereign weighs 7.98 grams and is alloyed with a small amount of copper which ensures durability: it contains 0.23 troy ounce of gold. Like other small gold bullion coins of this era there are advantages in ownership.
