How many 1893 British Double Sovereign coins were minted?

In: British Coins [Edit categories]

Answer:

Pre-20th century mintage figures are not especially accurate since the coins were often minted by weight rather than to a specific quantity.

As far as the 1893 British Double Sovereign is concerned, it is thought that approximately 52,000 coins were minted for general circulation. A further 800 were minted as Proof coins.
