What is the value of a 1911 British Half-Sovereign?

Answer 1

A British 1911 22 carat gold Half-Sovereign (George V)(minted in London - no mintmark), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £95 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from bullion value to £70 GBP.

A British 1911 22 carat gold Half-Sovereign (George V)(minted in Perth - mintmark = P), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £275 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £80 to £140 GBP.

A British 1911 22 carat gold Half-Sovereign (George V)(minted in Sydney - mintmark = S), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £100 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from bullion value to £70 GBP.

The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.

Answer 2

The Royal Mint has never produced a Quarter-Sovereign coin until 2009. There has never been a need for a Quarter-Sovereign coin, since the Crown (Five Shillings) did the job and, after decimalisation, the 25 Pence coin to a lesser extent.

The current interest shown in a Quarter-Sovereign coin seems to stem from a disreputable somebody claiming to have scooped the world market on a finite number of coins only available to them and, mysteriously originating in Another Country.

These coins are not legal tender in Britain and, if they are actually made from gold, would be worth bullion value.
