1911 King George V Gold Half Sovereign

A coronation is a momentous occasion, marking the start of a new reign. For coin collectors, sovereigns struck during a coronation year are highly desirable. This Sovereign dates from 1911, the year of George V’s coronation in Westminster Abbey on 22 June. It was one of the last events to have a gathering of Europe’s nobility in attendance before the outbreak of the First World War.

The 1911 Gold Half Sovereign is a striking coin that features King George V on the obverse and the George Dragon design on the reverse. The coin is in good condition and is provided in a plastic capsule. The lack of mintmark denotes that it was struck at the London Mint. This coin would make an excellent addition to any collection.
