Proof Half Sovereigns

The proof half sovereign is minted using special hand polished dies which are closely monitored during production. Proof half sovereigns can be struck up to four times to achieve a high definition. You can tell the difference between modern proof sovereigns and uncirculated sovereigns by the difference in the finish.

The proof coin has a shiny mirror-type background with the design picked out in a frosted finish. There is no difference in the finish on the uncirculated sovereign, it looks the same on both the design and the background.

If you are looking for a specific year, we have a range of proof half sovereigns available here that come with the original presentation box and certificate.

Mintage Figures

Proof half sovereigns are issued to a lower mintage than uncirculated half sovereigns. The proof coin is usually sold at a higher premium than the uncirculated coin which is sold at a low premium above spot.
