This 1924 Gold Graded Half Sovereign George V NGC MS-62 Perth Coin is dated in 1924 when the total mintage figure was quite low, compared with over 30 million in some years. It surely rates as the most difficult date of all George V sovereigns.
Struck from 22 carat gold (0.916 fineness) this proof coin has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) and has attained the grade of MS-62.
This coin also shares the same year 1924 when the social activist and leader of the Indian nationalist Mahatma Gandhi was released from imprisonment after his movement against the British rule.
