Uncirculated / Bullion Half SovereignsFifth Definitive Portrait The Royal Mint will not be selling uncirculated half sovereigns to trade this year, so we will only be able to supply them when we purchase them off the secondary market. The 2016 half sovereigns are the first to feature the fifth portrait, by Jody Clark, on the obverse. Unlike some of the 2015 proof full sovereign, the proof half sovereign did not depict the fifth effigy. Proof SovereignsWe are usually able to offer proof half sovereigns at a discount compared with The Royal Mint (and many of our competitors). In recent years the trade discount price has reduced. If The Royal Mint continue to drop their prices to amounts equal to, or lower than the trade prices, we may need to stop stocking Royal Mint products, as there will be no need to and customers may as well go directly to The Mint. If this happens, The Royal Mint will no longer have any competition and with a complete monopoly over the market, will be able to increase their prices to over-inflated amounts once more, with no option for customers to purchase from elsewhere. Other Sovereign SizesWe will also be getting the uncirculated and proof 2016 sovereigns. Half Sovereign Specifications
