The half guinea coin was minted in gold in England and later the United Kingdom between 1669 and 1814. It was struck in gold and was machine manufactured with a milled edge. The half guinea is highly sought because it was an early English gold coin with a strong historical prominence struck during a particularly eventful period of English and later UK history. The half was originally worth around ten shillings and sixpence. Eventually it was replaced with the half sovereign. It remains one of the most beautiful and sought after English and latterly British coins. It was produced with a milled edge to prevent people from clipping off the edges of the gold (and reselling it) thus diminishing the intrinsic value of the half guinea.
