Gold Half Sovereign 6-Coin Type Set EF-UNC
An exceptional six-coin Australian Gold Half Sovereign Type Set, showcasing the major design transitions of the denomination from the early Sydney Mint colonial issues through to the final George V era. Carefully assembled in grades ranging from Extremely Fine to Uncirculated, this impressive collection represents decades of Australian gold coinage in consistently high quality.
The set is anchored by a scarce 1863 Sydney Mint Half Sovereign, a particularly attractive example displaying a sharp strike with strong original detail throughout. The coin exhibits a small indent beneath the ‘A’ of AUSTRALIA, a minor feature that does not detract from its overall eye appeal and mentioned for accuracy. Additional highlights include the desirable 1884 Shield Reverse, a Choice Uncirculated 1887 Jubilee Head, a superb 1893 Veiled Head, and outstanding Edward VII and George V examples.
