Guest Bandstand Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 It's a half sovereign with ( georgivs v d.g. britt : omn : rex f.d ind : imp ) on one side and a knight slaying a dragon on the other with the date 1913. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted February 24, 2005 Posted February 24, 2005 It'll be worth about £26 (bullion value) unless it's in perfect condition. Check it's a half and not a full sov...It should be about 19mm diameter. Quote
Guest Bandstand Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Thanks Chris, It's in really good cond, like new, and in an old box from H Pidduck & Son , it is 19mm.I also have another old H Pidduck box with a full sovereign inside, this one is set on a mount and is Queen Victoria 1887 and is perfect, both were my late fathers and I know nothing about coins.

Chris Perkins Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 The sov in a mount will probably be worth bullion value too, as mounting coins is bad in the eyes of collectors. No matter what kind of mount it is, it would have caused irrepairable damage to the coin. Quote
