2000 Gold Half Sovereign

£497.63

Issued in the year 2000, this Half Sovereign is among the first Elizabeth II fractional Sovereigns issued by The Royal Mint. The obverse shows Ian Rank-Broadley’s portrait of Her Majesty the Queen, introduced to British coinage in 1998, replacing Raphael Maklouf’s effigy. The Rank-Broadley profile shows Elizabeth II wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara that once belonged to Queen Mary. The royal obverse is paired with a historic reverse showing England’s patron saint in the act of slaying a dragon. Benedetto Pistrucci’s Saint George is mounted on horseback and has become closely associated with these coins.
