The gold Half Sovereigns struck during the 1914-18 Great War give you the chance to create a powerful bond with those who served Australia with such distinction in “the war to end all wars”. Struck at the Sydney Mint in the very year of the ill-fated Gallipoli Campaign, the 1915S Gold Half Sovereign is a permanent reminder of a seminal moment in Australian history.
Uniting the timeless beauty of Pistrucci’s St George & the Dragon reverse with the distinguished features of King George V, all WWI Half Sovereigns are scarce today. This is in part due to the low mintages, and the number melted for the gold in the century since struck. With the mintage closed at a tiny 892,000, the 1915S Half Sovereign is no exception to the rule. In addition, this key WWI date is difficult to track down due to its inextricable link with Australia’s Baptism of Fire on the shores of Gallipoli.
