bejon Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 10/13/2009 01:10 am Does anyone have any information on this coin. I have 2 of them. One I have identified as the 22mm one that has .2354 gold and some copper, But I am trying to find info on the the smaller one, almost the size of a dime. about 17-18mm guestimate. Any information would be helpful. On one side it has the picture of King George V and it says: GEORGIVS V DEI GRA:BRITT:OMN: REX FIDEF:IND:IMP: In Latin that means "George the Fifth, by the Grace of God, King of All Britain [or "All Britons"], Defender of the Faith, and Emperor of India." This is a sample picture of what they look like http://www.treasurerealm.com/coinpapers ... S3997.html The small one that I have is in excellent condition. Report this Post to the Staff

The smaller one sounds like a half-sovereign. Depending on condition, mintmarks, etc, they may attract a premium above the intrinsic value of the gold they contain.

The other thing you should know about sovereigns (and halves) is that they were struck kin several mints throughout the British empire, and which mint may be important in determining value. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
bejon Valued Member United States 108 Posts	Posted 10/13/2009 01:39 am Thanks for the info. The sovereign is not in that great of a condition but the 1/2 sovereign is in almost an uncirculated condition. I'll take some pics and post it. Neither of them have a letter on it, so I'm thinking London Mint, as I have read that a letter means something. Report this Post to the Staff
