The British Gold Half Sovereign was first minted in 1544 during the reign of Henry VIII. They were discontinued, however, after 1604. Modern Half Sovereigns were produced again starting in 1817, after an impactful revision of British coinage. They have a face value of 10 shillings, or half a pound sterling, but their worth far exceeds this amount due to their gold content. 

The obverse showcases the royal bust of Queen Elizabeth II, adorned with her regal crown. Designed by Jody Clark, this portrait is the fifth version of Queen Elizabeth’s image on the British currency.

The reverse, designed by Italian coin engraver Benedetto Pistrucci, features a return to the traditional design of St. George on horseback heroically slaying an evil dragon. As legend suggests, Saint George battled the dragon to save the life of the princess who was selected as the next sacrifice.
