It was the start of the world’s rst global con ict but also a watershed in the history of gold coinage. Since 1814, Britain had been on the gold standard, its coinage and banknotes exchangeable for gold. When war was declared, the British government immediately began to recall its gold supplies. On 5 August 1914, the Chancellor, David Lloyd George, announced the issue of One Pound and Ten Shilling Treasury notes to be exchanged for Sovereigns and Half Sovereigns. His appeal to the British people to give up their gold came with a warning that anyone sel sh enough to withdraw gold from the bank would be “assisting the enemies of his native land”. Actual size is 38.6 mm ended the exchange of paper money for gold coins. Britain no longer had a circulating gold currency, and a 100 year old British law allowing exchanging banknotes for gold was put to a halt. Millions of British Sovereigns gone In spite of concerns that the notes were too small and looked like lottery tickets, the people dutifully exchanged their Sovereigns for paper. Of the £123m worth of gold coin circulating in Britain at the outbreak of the First World War, around £100m ended up in the Bank of England. Simultaneously, the Bank dramatically reduced the number of Sovereigns struck from 30 million in 1913 to just over one million in 1917. as £49.95 (plus £4.95 P&P).

Our issue six cover star Winston Churchill was quoted as saying in the House of Commons in 1947: “It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government, except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.” As with so many of his quotes, the flippancy of the remark hides the deeper truth of the words. Many of us happily criticise our governments, but those fortunate enough to be living in a democracy at least get the chance to vote them out. This is a right that has been hard-fought and has evolved from a time when most civilisations were ruled by a single figure not accountable to the people. This issue’s themed section focuses on democracy and the individuals and events that have shaped its development. One individual far removed from democracy was Alexander the Great. To find out more about the great warrior’s tactical acumen, leadership skills and fearsome army turn to our cover feature on page 48. By the time of his death aged just 32 he had put most of the known world to the sword and had done so leading from the front. In another historically eclectic issue we also have a feature on the ten dirtiest tricks of WWII on page 66 (think itching powers and exploding animals) and examine the story behind the Titanic, the ‘unsinkable ship’, on page 58.
