The 2005 half sovereign is a coin struck in 22 carat gold as a proof by the Royal Mint. The Obverse features the fourth crowned portrait of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, with legend around. The reverse of this coin features a modern interpretation of St George and the dragon. This original and eye catching designed was created by heraldic artist Timothy Noad. The design is centered around a crusader shield with Saint George’s Cross, protecting a sword-wielding Saint who is about to strike a winged dragon. The 2005 design was a one-year-only change from the usual Benedetto Pistrucci portrait.
Proof Half Sovereigns are hand-finished to create a flawless effect, and are often struck multiple times with specially prepared dies to achieve a mirrored finish and clarity of detail.
