The Gold Half Sovereign is a gold bullion coin minted by Britain’s Royal Mint. It is a smaller version of the world-famous Royal Mint Gold Sovereign.

A half gold sovereign is a British coin that has been minted since 1544, primarily composed of 22-carat gold. It is half the size and weight of a full gold sovereign, making it a more affordable and accessible option for investors and collectors alike. Weighing 3.99 grams with a diameter of 19.30 mm, the coin features intricate designs that often depict the reigning monarch on the obverse and classic motifs like St. George slaying the dragon on the reverse. Its relatively smaller size does not detract from its historical and numismatic value, as half sovereigns are highly sought after for their craftsmanship and gold content. These coins are also popular gifts and commemorative pieces due to their elegance and association with British heritage. Since these coins are over 100 years old, their condition varies, and the minting techniques of the time were not as precise as today. As a result, the coins we offer have a tolerance of up to 1% for both weight and purity, which is standard for coins of this era.

According to the original specifications, each gold coin contains 3.99 grams of gold within a total weight of 4.35 grams, with a gold purity of 91.67%. However, due to the tolerance, the actual weight and purity may vary slightly within this range. Coins falling within this 1% purity and weight tolerance are considered normal and will not be exchanged.
