Specifications
Victoria Jubilee Head Half Sovereign gold coin (shield back)
All our pre-owned coins undergo strict quality checks by our team of experts to ensure their condition is excellent. The coins are issued without expensive presentation boxes to maximize the amount of gold for your money. You may wish to consider the accompanying Half Sovereign coin capsules.
The obverse of the Victoria Jubilee Head Half Sovereign features the J.E Boehm designed Queen Victoria in her middle years, adorning the jubilee crown.
This highly collectible coin features the relatively rare ‘Shield Back’ emblem on its reverse by renowned designer J.B.Merlen . This depicts the Ensigns Armorials and garnished shield. These coins are far scarcer than Sovereigns with George & the Dragon on the back due to lower mintages and many being removed from circulation.
In 1887, the reverse of Sovereigns started to feature a new design of the classic St.George and Dragon by Benedetto Pistucci.
The coins will date between 1887-1893.
