The half sovereign is an English gold coin designated at one-half of a pound real.

First
gave in quite a while present structure in 1817, it has been struck by the Imperial
Mint in many years starting around 1980 as a gatherer's and bullion piece.

The half sovereign was initially presented in 1544 (in the rule of Henry VIII) yet the
issue was stopped after 1604. In 1817, as a feature of the Incomparable Recoinage,
half sovereigns and sovereigns were once again introduced. Until it was stopped as a
money coin in 1926, the half sovereign was struck in many years and flowed broadly.
As well as being authored in London, it was struck at the pilgrim mints in Australia
and South Africa. Demanding guidelines made it hard to strike, and it was considered
for end during the 1880s in spite of its prevalence.

Creation of half sovereigns went on until 1926 and, aside from exceptional issues for
crowning celebration years, was suspended until 1980. From that point forward it has
been struck available to be purchased by the Illustrious Mint, in spite of the fact that
it doesn't course. Notwithstanding the representation of the prevailing ruler, the coin
highlights in many years a picture of Holy person George and the winged serpent,
planned by Benedetto Pistrucci, first utilized on the sovereign in 1817 and the half
sovereign in 1893
