Threepence added. The sovereign was worth a pound, but there was no pound coin pre-decimal (though there was a pound note), so I'll leave that as it is.

Never seen a half sovereign but plenty of ten bob notes.

sovereign and half sovereign were gold coins. One coin missing was the one-year (1792, I think) Two Pence coin, also known as a "Cartwheel" or the Tuppins.
