Half oz coins

[Chugnstack]

I was just looking to canvas some opinion on half oz coins and which designs lend themselves to this coin size? I'm looking to buy a half oz next month but my gold stack is entirely made up of sovereigns and half sovereigns at the moment. I was looking at perhaps a half Britannia but my buddy has a quarter britannia and I found the design just a bit too compressed for my liking, I assume a half would be better but I could be wrong. I was thinking of just getting a double sovereign but that's perhaps a bit boring. What else would you guys recommend? Krugs, Maples Etc?

There are a few nice 1/2 ounce coins out there. There are pandas, American eagles, Austrian philharmonics, etc.  Your best bet is to do a search on eBay and see all the different coins that come up. If you don't see something you like - you can always get a 1/2 ounce gold pamp suisse fortuna bar.

lets us know what you decide

britannia proof 1/2

1/2 oz Britannia proof or double sovereign proof - these proofs look stunning especially if in perfect condition.

I guess I might not have phrased it very well. I was more referring to designs that come in to their own in a larger size. Perhaps the question is silly but I reckon their are coins that have that phenomenon. 

I do like the idea of a proof double sov or proof Brit,

You can't go wrong with either really. 

There are many special design proof double sovs and many special design proof Brits.

I bought a 1/2 oz lunar 2 monkey at the beginning of the year, its my biggest and most valuable gold coin I have, I also really wanted a half oz so I did a bit of looking around and thought I couldn't go wrong with a lunar 2 half. They are great designs, come in a capsule and they are bigger size than most other half ounces.
