Comments

Standardowa waga pół suwerena wynosiła 80/623 uncji trojańskich (61,6 ziaren). Zawartość czystego złota wynosiła 56 312/623 ziaren (3,6612 g).

Istnieją liczne odmiany awersu, rewersu i naddatku daty (Spink wymienia 10). W latach 1863-1880 złote monety emitowane przez Mennicę Królewską do obiegu w Wielkiej Brytanii i jej posiadłościach miały numer matrycy wpisany na rewersie pod wieńcem:

KM#735.1 bez numeru matrycy
KM#735.2 z numerem matrycy

Uwaga: W przypadku emisji ze znakiem mennicy poniżej tarczy patrz Australia (M = mennica w Melbourne, S = mennica w Sydney).Automatically translated
