1911-1915 Great Britain Gold Half Sovereign George V BU
Struck during the early years of the twentieth century, specifically from 1911 to 1915, this British gold coin represents a fascinating era of royal coinage. Minted by the historic Royal Mint, each piece contains 0.1177 troy ounces of gold, with a purity of 0.9167. These coins have survived in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, preserving the crisp details of their original manufacture. The obverse of the coin displays the profile of King George V, accompanied by a partial Latin inscription. On the reverse, viewers will find the dynamic and globally recognized masterpiece by Benedetto Pistrucci, which depicts the legendary warrior Saint George on horseback as he slays a dragon. This combination of royal portraiture and classical mythology makes the half sovereign a remarkable object of artistic and historical study.
