Best Value Victoria Jubilee Head Half Sovereigns
Circulated Jubilee Head Victorian Half Sovereigns in mixed years at our best value price. These gold coins all bear the controversial Golden Jubilee portrait of Queen Victoria, created by the famed sculptor, Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm. The Jubilee Portrait shows the Queen at the time of her fiftieth year on the throne wearing a small crown and a long lace veil. It was met with derision by commentators upon its introduction and was removed from Victoria's coinage after just a few years. The reverse is finely wrought and hard to criticise. The work of Jean Baptiste Merlen it shows a shield of royal arms, elaborately garnished with a royal crown above and the date below. It marks a change from Benedetto Pistrucci's interpretation of St George and the dragon or the wreath-and-shield design used earlier in Victoria's reign. However, these coins maintain the specifications established in Pistrucci's day: each is composed of 3.99 grams of 22 carat gold with a diameter of 19.30 millimetres. This equates to a pure gold content of 3.66 grams or 0.1177 troy ounces. We'll select your Jubilee Head Half Sovereign from our available stock dated 1887 to 1892. These coins are in Fine (F) to Very Fine (VF) condition, meaning they might show superficial marks and wear but nothing that will take away from their weight or historic appeal.
