No British sovereigns or half sovereigns were minted in 1973, indeed very few countries issued any gold coins in 1973, however the Isle of Man did issue gold half sovereigns, and we usually carry a small quantity of them in stock. When our stocks run low or out, we often find these difficult to replace on demand.

Low Mintage
As you can see, there is a very low mintage compared with most dates of British sovereigns.

Design
The obverse features the same portrait as on British sovereigns of the same period.
The reverse shows a Norse warrior on horseback, making this very similar in appearance to the St. George and dragon reverse which is so familiar on British sovereigns.
