2023 Coronation Gold Half Sovereign

BullionByPost are proud to be official partners with The Royal Mint, bringing our customers the very best of British bullion for investments and collections.

The 2023 Coronation Half Sovereign returns to the classic George and Dragon design by Benedetto Pistrucci found on the modern Sovereign since 1817. The 2023 Half Sovereign coin is a special release to celebrate the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III. As such it features a crowned version of the portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings, with the Monarch wearing the Tudor Crown.

The Tudor Crown was the imperial and state crown of English monarchs from the time of Henry VIII until it was destroyed in 1649. Since that time it has been used in insignia as a symbol of The Crown and the British Monarchy. It also appears on King Charles' personal Cypher and the design was personally chosen by the king. We expect this to be the only time bullion Half Sovereigns are issued with a crowned version of the portrait making them an even more collectible coin.

Like all Half Sovereigns the coin will be struck in 22 carat gold and contain 3.66 grams of pure gold.
