MS63 | UNITED KINGDOM. Victoria, 1837-1901.
Gold half-sovereign, 1892. London. No JEB Low shield DISH L516.
The production of half-sovereigns was held back for several years to steer the public towards increased use of silver coins. The Double-florin was introduced to help in this process.

The production of Double-florin coins was halted and a large number of half-sovereigns were struck: 13,680,486.
