Struck at the Royal Mint during the era of King George V, this 1913 gold half sovereign represents a classic period of British numismatics. The coin belongs to a specific series range minted between 1911 and 1915, carrying a total mintage of 6,094,000 pieces. Crafted from gold with a purity of 0.9167, each piece contains 0.1177 troy ounces of actual gold weight and survives today in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The obverse features a detailed portrait of King George V, accompanied by abbreviated Latin inscriptions including GEORGIVS and OMN:REX. On the reverse, the coin displays the legendary artwork of Benedetto Pistrucci, depicting Saint George on horseback as he slays a dragon. This iconic design, paired with the 1913 date, makes the coin a fascinating study in early twentieth-century British coinage.
