A 1987 gold proof Half Sovereign from The Royal Mint. 1987 Half Sovereigns were issued only in proof form - 8,187 were issued. This proof has been struck using specially selected blanks and highly polished dies. During striking, the coinage dies exert enormous pressure on the coin blank, with at least two separate blows (or strikes), ensuring that the impression has extra clarity.
