A very rare Laureate Head Type I Proof, the first Half Sovereign design of George IV's reign, by Benedetto Pistrucci. The type was soon withdrawn because gilded sixpences were being passed off as it, leaving surviving examples of the original design particularly scarce. Marsh 403A, rated R3.
An extremely rare Type I Sydney Mint Half Sovereign, one of the finest graded for the date. From the Mint's earliest years, with James Wyon's distinctive filleted portrait of Queen Victoria: a stunning example of this important early Australian gold issue.
Tightly wrapped in an inverted brown Chubb wrapper. Featuring the distinctive red Flanders poppy, this inaugural Australian coloured circulating issue was distributed through RSL clubs as part of the 2012 Poppy Appeal.
