The 1877 Half-Sovereign - Victoria

Fourth Young Head Half-Sovereign of Queen Victoria. Type A4, hair ribbon is narrower than previously. Shield back. Die number 148 is shown on reverse. SCBC: 3860E.

Diameter is 19mm and weighs 3.898g.

The Young Head half-sovereigns (1838-1887) had quite a number of minor changes. 1877 Half-Sovereigns were also minted in Australia at the Sydney and Melbourne mints. Low grade coins are usually sold for bullion value.

The Reverse, by Jean Baptiste Merlen, shows a crowned and garnished quartered shield of arms. Die number is below shield (in this case 148).

The Obverse shows a left-facing young-head portrait of Queen Victoria by William Wyon.
