 William IV. Proof ½ Sovereign, 1831. Bare head r. Rv. Crowned shield in ornate frame virtually fills the field, ANNI 1831 below. Small planchet, 17.6mm, plain edge. S.3830. This first issue Half Sovereign is a remarkably rare issue, whether in Proof or the elusive circulation issue three years later. This coin displays a jewel-like strike of almost startling visual quality and appeal. Brilliant Proof, essentially Choice. (Est. $3,000-$3,500)
