The base metal is most obvious where the gold plating has worn off, in the area of the King's beard. Report this Post to the Staff

agandau Valued Member Australia 193 Posts	Posted 07/08/2011 11:44 pm Whilst the weight is correct for a half sovereign of 3.994 grams, the dragon does not look right, so I think that is a copy also. Besides even if it was genuine, with a hole drilled in it, it is only worth the value of the metal at best. Report this Post to the Staff
