Because they are pretty much the cheapest silver available from a reputable dealer (or anybody else for that matter) at this present point in time.
Why worry about "before lockdown"? We are talking price and availability now. I understand what you are saying though, it's a psychological thing. Even if somebody offered me a sovereign at spot today, I couldn't bring myself to buy it and would rather somebody else had it. Why? Because a few years back I was buying sovereigns sub-£200 and I can't mentally overcome them being £340-350 now. They are a good price, no doubt, but I have a mental block.
Anything around the £16-17/oz right now is a steal at current prices. 
Not sure why I don't have the same mental block with silver. i have a screenshot on my phone of a monster box of maples when I was planning to buy a monster box. £5765 delivered for 500oz. That's £11.53 an ounce at my door. 

That went fast 😉

Today I received two proof 20 Balboas silver coins.
I used to have one of these, and sold it - then I wish I hadn't. I have been waiting for a good deal for a while now.
61mm diameter, with 3.85oz of silver in each.
Got the two for £115 including special delivery, so works out to £14.93 per ounce delivered.

Here is the cast packaging.

Thanks. Hmm..interesting choice for the website developer...I say the Union Jack is more appropriate for defining a symbol for the English language. 🙂

This was my sovereign collection before I sold half of them....
