1977 Half Sovereign? ? ?

[Guest Chippychap]

Hi Guys,

Apparently there were no Sovereigns minted in '77.

Were fakes a problem as it seems the world knows they don't exist.

It is in a reasonably good mount or is it just designed as decorative?

Thanks guys

Ken

That's not really a coin, or a fake either. It's an item of jewellery made to represent a sovereign. On a real one the date is always under St George. It was probably made for use in that ring and it's probably made of gold, the same purity as the ring, which is probably 9ct.

Bless you for that Chris, it probably is seen as a testament to their honesty that they used the 1977 date.
