There were two gold UK coins minted in 1900, the half-sovereign and the sovereign. At minimum, a gold half-sovereign would have a melt value of 4 grams of 22K gold (at the moment very roughly $120), because that's what it's made of. A gold sovereign would be worth (minimally) twice that, since it's 8 grams of the same alloy.

Depending on condition (and other factors ... they were minted at four different mints, in differing quantities), they could be worth more to a collector, but you'd have to take them to a dealer to find out exactly how much.


The "Victoria Dei Gra Britt Regina (Fid Def Ind Imp)" part is a standard imprint (it just means "Victoria, by the Grace of God Queen of Britain, Defender of the Faith, Empress of India") and doesn't really tell us much; it's like asking how much a 1965 "Liberty In God We Trust" coin is worth (those words appear on all 1965 US Coins from the penny to the silver dollar; a bona fide 1965 US coin that didn't say that would be worth a lot more).
