2026 Great Britain Gold Half Sovereign Proof Coin (Yellow Gold)
The 2026 Gold Half Sovereign represents a remarkable milestone in British numismatic history, marking exactly 500 years since yellow gold was established as the standard metal for this legendary coin series. Struck in proof condition by the Royal Mint, this piece is composed of 22 carat gold, containing 0.1177 troy ounces of pure gold. On the obverse, the coin displays the portrait of His Majesty King Charles III. The reverse features the celebrated depiction of Saint George and the dragon, a masterpiece created by Benedetto Pistrucci. This iconic design has been a central tradition of the Sovereign series since its introduction in 1817. To protect its integrity, the modern coin incorporates advanced security details, including micro-text, a latent image, and a half-tone pattern.
