A stunning synthesis of beauty, history and luxury, the 1910S Half Sovereign is also notable for its rarity in the upper echelons of quality - as presented here. The last half sovereign struck during the reign of King Edward VII, the Sydney Mint's 1910S Half Sovereign is available graded MS64 - the equivalent of Choice Uncirculated!
The 1910S Half Sovereign mintage was minuscule - as with all Australian half sovereigns. Just 474,000 were struck, with a huge number lost or falling victim to the profiteer's melting pot. In addition, as the half sovereign was a genuine circulation coin before WWI sounded the death knell for gold as a circulating medium, most surviving Edward VII half sovereigns are very well-worn. But not the coin before you!
A spectacular example, the 1910S Half Sovereign offered here is underpinned by an acutely detailed portrait of Edward VII, complemented by entrancing original lustre. A coin notable for its huge eye-appeal, and attractive golden hues, the chance to own the last Edward VII half sovereign in Choice Uncirculated demands the most serious of consideration.
