$300Billion
Modern sovereigns unless in proof condition are generally only worth bullion. At the moment a full sovereign is worth about $400 US/CAD in gold.
'The Red-Headed League' probably took place in 1890, and the gold sovereign was equivalent to 1 British pound at that time, which, in turn, was worth about $4 US. Inflation would make the sovereign's buying power about $100 in today's money.
The face value of a Sovereign is One Pound (GBP). Since all British Sovereign coinage is made from 22 carat gold, the actual value is very much higher. Athe very least, they are worth the bullion value of gold.

A sovereign contains roughly 0.2388 troy ounces of gold. At the current gold price, £1092.40 per troy ounce, you are looking at a value of around £260. Most gold sovereigns sell for around that on ebay. A half sovereign is obviously worth half of that: £130. If you mean purchasing power, I can't be sure but I believe a half sovereign would be the equivalent of around £75 by today's standards. I was looking myself for information on the purchasing power specifically, but the closest approximation I can find compares the value of a 1895 sovereign to £150 in 2007. I don't think it would have changed much.
The second largest gold nugget in the world was found in Sovereign Hill. There is still gold there, although not as many people dig for gold as used to.
No. Ned Kelly was active much later than the initial gold rush at Sovereign Hill.

Any Half-Sovereign coins circulating in Ireland would have been British Half-Sovereigns. Any value it might have would depend on the year and condition of the coin. Since it is a gold coin, it would be worth its weight in gold at least.

Australia has never produced a Sovereign or Half-Sovereign coin as a part of its currency. Prior to Federation, the Australian colonies produced Sovereign and Half-Sovereign coins for Britain during the later part of the 19th Century, from about 1870. Also, Sovereign and Half-Sovereign coins were produced at the newly opened Sydney branch of the Royal Mint in about 1855 with the word AUSTRALIA on the reverse. It should be noted that at this period of history, Australia was a very loose confederation of Colonies governed from Britain. Australia had not yet become a country and did not have its own currency. Irrespective of the Mint or location, "Australian" Sovereigns weigh in at 7.9881 grams, are 1.52 mm thick, have a diameter of 21.05 mm, fineness is 22 carat or 91.67% gold, and the gold content is 7.3224 grams, as per the British standard.
