Description

The 2026 Half Sovereign is a British gold coin, minted by the Royal Mint. The weight of the coin is 3.99 grams with a fineness of 916.7 (22 carat gold), this means it contains 3.6612 grams of pure gold. The diameter of the coin is 19.3 mm. The Half Sovereigns have a face value of 50 Pence (1/2 a Pound) and are legal tender in the UK.

The 2026 gold Half Sovereign marks a new chapter in this historic coin series, with a return to a yellow-gold alloy, and new design with advanced security features. The reverse uses the classic George & Dragon design by Pistrucci surrounded by new micro-text with the inscription 'HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE', the motto of the Order of the Garter. The obverse of the coin includes the official portrait of King Charles III by Martin Jennings, while a new latent image below the monarch's effigy and a half-tone pattern provide additional authentication measures.

Combined, the new colour and updated security features make the 2026 Half Sovereign coin a must-have for investors and collectors alike, and will further the coin's global appeal for years to come. For UK investors, the coin remains both VAT-free and exempt from CGT when selling, making it a tax-efficient option to consider.
