Gold Souvereign 1/2 coin

The gold 1/2 Souvereign is a unique British collector's item from The Royal Mint's official production line. The coin weighs exactly half of the entire Sovereign, namely 3.99 grams and has the same gold content: 91.67% or 22 carats. The 1/2 Sovereign has a diameter of 19mm and is legal tender in England with a value of £0.5.

The half gold Souvereign has contained 3.1612 grams of fine gold and has been minted by The Royal Mint since 1817. The face features an intricate engraving of Her Majesty's Royal portrait and the Dei Gratia Regina inscription, with a striking ''George and the Dragon'' image on the reverse.

The Golden Sovereign is one of the most iconic symbols of the British Empire and in particular of prosperity. The coin is a timeless and sought-after 'gold investment'. Thanks to the fame of the Sovereign and its historical significance, this gold coin is considered by many to be the flagship of The Royal Mint. The consistency of the production quality still makes this special coin one of the most beautiful in the world.

Buying a Sovereign can be called a uniquely patriotic investment in gold. The classic statue of Saint George and the dragon crafted by Benedetto Pistrucci in 1817 is a masterpiece of design that is still displayed on today's golden Sovereign. The Sovereign is often chosen by monarchs to celebrate a special event or a milestone. The gold coin has a long history and has proven to hold its value, which is why Souvereigns are an excellent all-round investment in gold.

Why buy gold at Holland Gold?
