1900-18P Gold Half Sovereign Complete 7-Coin Set Fine-about Uncirculated

From the unique Queen Victoria 1900P to the excessively rare George V 1918P, and every coin in between, this breathtaking collection offers you the opportunity to secure every Gold Half Sovereign date struck at the Perth Mint!

All-encompassing, this inspiring presentation comprises seven 22-carat gold half sovereigns. While headlined by the rare 1918P Half – Australia’s last half sovereign date, known by no more than 200 examples – this prestigious collection is packed with highlights.

A key coin in any grade, the set features the ONLY Queen Victoria Half Sovereign date – the 1900P. Missing from many collections, the mintage was a low 119,376. Royal Mint branches were reluctant to strike the somewhat tricky half sovereigns, and the Perth Mint was no exception. Thus, as they started under Queen Victoria, so would they continue – the Mint’s half
sovereign mintages are astonishingly small!

Regarding Edward VII half sovereigns, the 1904P had a mintage of 60,030, with the mintages of the 1908P and 1909P being 24,668 and 44,022 respectively! Apart from the 1918P, the Mint only issued George V half sovereigns in 1911 (mintage 130,373) and 1915 (mintage 138,219). Overall, the average annual mintage of Perth Mint half sovereigns was an astonishing 73,841!

With the mintages so low, and so many coins melted for the gold, it’s no surprise that the Perth Mint Half Sovereign Series is rarely offered as a complete collection. With only one set available – graded from Fine to about Uncirculated – you must act now.
