Proof Gold Sovereign 2012

This proof gold sovereign is dated 2012. In 1817 as part of a reform of coinage, the modern sovereign was introduced, with Benedetto Pistrucci’s classic portrayal of St. George slaying the dragon. The Royal Mint held a competition to find a one-time reverse design in honour of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. Paul Day explained that he focused on St George being a medieval knight of Arthurian legend rather than a classical hero and the dragon was represented with a more threatening attitude and size. The obverse features Ian Rank-Broadley’s portrait of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The sovereign is one of the most recognisable coins in the world. This 2012 proof gold sovereign comes in a plastic capsule, with original Royal Mint boxes and certificate of authenticity.
