Description

The 1988 Gold Half Sovereign Coin is struck by The Royal Mint in 22-carat gold as part of the British Sovereign family. This classic fractional companion to the full Sovereign has 0.128 troy oz gross weight and around 0.1176 troy oz of fine gold, giving it a clear place within the wider Quarter, Half, Full, Double and Five-Sovereign range. The obverse carries the monarch portrait used for the year of issue, while the reverse features Benedetto Pistrucci's St George and the dragon reverse. The 1988 coin is part of the Raphael Maklouf portrait era, an important period for modern Sovereign date-run collectors, which helps place it within the changing portrait and design history of modern Royal Mint gold coinage. Collectors follow the 1988 Half Sovereign for its place in the annual Sovereign family date run, with condition, availability, packaging and any issue-specific details influencing collector interest beyond the coin's intrinsic gold value.
