The Mint has sold out of all their Proof coins so they have now released the bullion or Brilliant Uncirculated examples. We were able to get an early strike choice examples to offer our collectors. Each of the BU coins is struck to the high standard that we have come to expect from Royal Mint coins. They are struck in 22ct gold and they are well worth having. We know you will be pleased with the quality.
We have offered the Coronation Half Sovereign before but only in Uncirculated condition. We have just been able to buy 20 examples in Proof condition in the Royal Mint packaging. The mintage as a single coin is just 5,405 coins as the certificate states but only 2,500 available in this packaging. Remember this will be the only gold half sovereign where the King is wearing his crown. It is a very important one year type coin. And while the Royal Mint has long sold out, we are offering the 20 coins we were able to buy at the Official Mint issue price!
We have own 300 pieces of the 2005 Half Sovereign in BU condition, 1% of the mintage, and they were put away the year they were issued 17 years ago. Every time we sell 100 pieces we are going to put the price up, we are never going to reduce the price. We want to be honest with you so you know exactly what we are offering and what the rules are. When we start to run out of any item we tend to raise the price. After all, in old coins and notes, you can only have what's been made. Get them while they last…
We have a very short amount of the 2022 Half Sovereign in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. It features the last portrait by Jody Clark and the one-off reverse for the Diamond Jubilee in 2022. The last issue of the late Queen's Half Sovereign...
In the reign of King George V the gold Half Sovereign was only issued from 1911 until 1915. The Half Sovereign has always been a more difficult coin to obtain than the Sovereign. Mainly because they always made far fewer half-sovereigns than full sovereigns. In this case, they only issued this coin for five years. We can offer nice examples in Extremely Fine condition. And if you order two coins we will make sure you get two different dates. A coin that is missing from many collections and this is your chance to change all that.
The British Half Sovereign is much more difficult to get than the full Sovereign, that is because they made far fewer Half Sovereigns than Sovereigns. The first half sovereign was struck under George III when they changed from the Guinea to the Sovereign. Our wholesalers at the bullion houses are out of stock of most of these types, but we have this Victorian Jubilee Head Half Sovereign in Extremly Fine available for you to purchase now!
