It’s about getting an honest assessment from a trusted local expert who puts your interests first. We’ll walk you through exactly how we determine its value, ensuring you leave confident you’ve received the best possible deal today.

What Exactly is a Half Sovereign?

A half sovereign is a British gold coin, half the weight of a full sovereign. These coins have a rich history, first minted in 1817, and have been a popular choice for both collectors and investors ever since. They are renowned for their iconic St. George and the Dragon design on the reverse, though other designs featuring various monarchs have also been issued over the years.

• Weight: A standard half sovereign weighs 3.99 grams.
• Purity: They are made from 22-carat gold, which means they are 91.67% pure gold.
• Gold Content: This translates to approximately 3.66 grams of pure gold in each coin.
• Diameter: Typically 19.30 mm.

While some rare half sovereigns might carry a numismatic premium due to their age, mint mark, or condition, the vast majority of half sovereigns traded today are valued primarily for their intrinsic gold content. This means the price you receive will largely be dictated by the current global spot price of gold, combined with its precise weight and purity. We’ll help you understand if your specific coin has any additional value beyond its gold weight.
