1889 is F or almost F. It's difficult to see the top of the reverse, I would expect some of the feathers on the helmet crest to be clear in F. There's rim damage on the reverse that will reduce its value.

1905 is GF on the reverse but may be better on the obverse, I can't see the hair on the upper part of the head clearly.
However, it doesn't look like gold and there were no crowns issued for 1905. What weight and diameter is it, please ?

3 sovereigns were minted in Australia in 1905 at Perth, Sydney and Melbourne.
However NO Half sovereigns were minted that year

1905 half-sovs (no mintmark thus London) are listed in my catalogues.
