The gold coins of the Great Britain Sovereign coin were introduced in 1817 and based on the historic English gold sovereign. The latter coin was introduced by King Henry VII early during the Tudor Dynasty. Though those coins were halted in 1603, King George III revived the concept in 1817 and it continues to this day having transitioned from a circulation gold piece to a gold bullion investment. For 2022, the Royal Mint honors Queen Elizabeth II's historic 70th year on the throne with a one-year change to the reverse design. Now, 2022 Great Britain Gold 1/2 Sovereign Coins are available to you for purchase online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
While the English gold sovereign was first issued in 1489, the English half sovereign was not introduced until late in the reign of King Henry VIII. The coins were used within the kingdom through 1603, with King James I bringing an end to the sovereign and half sovereign coins of this era.
In 1817, the sovereign and half sovereign returned to production and circulation. The Great Recoinage of 1816 brought about new Great Britain Gold Sovereigns and Half Sovereigns. The coins were issued for circulation use with new design concepts through 1926. While half sovereigns no longer circulated in Britain after 1926, they continued to see extensive use in Australia through 1933. In 1980, the half sovereign made its debut in the gold bullion Sovereign Series.
Queen Elizabeth II is on the obverse of 2022 Great Britain Gold 1/2 Sovereign Coins. The design was created in 2015 by Jody Clark and is the fifth-generation portrait of Her Majesty to grace British coinage. The design shows the Queen at the age of 89 wearing the George IV State Diadem, a piece from the Crown Jewels.
in the reverse design of 2022 Gold 1/2 Sovereign Coins, the Royal Mint celebrates Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee with the Royal Arms of England on the reverse of the sovereigns instead of St. George's effigy. The design shows the coat of arms for the United Kingdom supported by the Lion of England and Unicorn of Scotland with an Imperial Crown atop the shield.
These 2022 Great Britain Gold 1/2 Sovereign Coins are available to you with individual plastic flips. The coins are in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and features 22-karat Crown gold alloy. The Crown gold alloy features 91.67% gold content, with the remaining balance often consisting of copper.
