Victoria Young Head Half Sovereign
Description Victoria Young Head Half Sovereign coins were only issued with the Shield reverse for the duration of it’s mintage, unlike the full sovereign. They were minted by the Royal Mint between 1838 and 1887, although not every year. The coin shows a portrait of the young Victoria, her first portrait. Victoria Young Head 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.
