George V Half Sovereign
Description George V Half Sovereign coins were minted by the Royal Mint between the years 1911-1932. George V reigned during a turbulent era for the Royal family and Great Britain. He reigned throughout World War I and during the Great Depression. Thus, the production of the George V Sovereign coins were sporadic and does not span the duration of his reign. These coins display a portrait of George V and on the reverse, Benedetto Pistrucci’s St. George and the Dragon design. George V Half Sovereign coins are minted in 22ct gold and have been so since the original “modern” design was issued in 1817. These coins benefit from being Capital Gains Tax (CGT) free. All UK gold and silver bullion coins manufactured by the Royal Mint are legal tender and are exempt from Capital Gains Tax.
