2014 Gold Proof Half Sovereign Elizabeth II Mule Coin With Unfinished Bullion Obverse Die PCGS Graded PR70DCAM

Bullion Portrait Of Queen Elizabeth II

The bullion version of Ian Rank-Broadley's definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II can be seen on the obverse of this coin. It lacks the fine detail and high-contrast finish of the proof design. The legend around the effigy reads 'ELIZABETH · II · DEI · GRA · REGINA · FID · DEF'.

Proof Saint George Reverse Design

Benedetto Pistrucci's interpretation of the legend of Saint George can be seen on the obverse of this Half Sovereign, the design frosted and the date (2014) below.

Rare Mule Error Coin From The Royal Mint

So-called 'mule' coins get their name from the offspring of a horse and a donkey. They are created when non-matching pairs of dies are used to strike a coin and are very rare in the age of modern minting. This 2014 Half Sovereign has been created by using a bullion Half Sovereign obverse die and a proof reverse die.
