Struck in 22 carat gold, this beautiful Gold Proof Sovereign Four-Coin Collection embodies almost two centuries of numismatic tradition. The coin bears on its reverse the classic portrayal of St George and the dragon by the Italian nineteenth-century engraver, Benedetto Pistrucci. The obverse features the portrait of Her Majesty The Queen by Ian Rank-Broadley FRBS, which has appeared on all United Kingdom circulating coins since 1998.
As a gift...The 2008 Gold Proof Sovereign Four-Coin Collection is an impressive way to celebrate an important event - maybe a retirement, Golden Wedding anniversary or milestone birthday. By giving a gold sovereign you are also continuing a time-honoured tradition.
The Four-Coin Sovereign Collection is housed in a handsome new walnut-veneer presentation case and is accompanied by an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity signed by the Chief Executive of the Royal Mint. Each of the 22 carat gold Proof sovereigns features the legendary St George and the dragon reverse design by Benedetto Pistrucci together with the portrait of Her Majesty The Queen by Ian Rank-Broadley FRBS on the obverse.
What has, undoubtedly, elevated the sovereign to its current status is the timeless neo-classical design of St George and the dragon by Benedetto Pistrucci. This rendering has inspired and fascinated artists for centuries and was first used on the nineteenth-century gold sovereigns of George III. Another endearing feature of the sovereign is the unquestionable fineness and accuracy. For centuries the sovereign set the standard against which all other coins were measured. Today the 2008 Gold Proof Sovereign is minted to the exact weight and fineness of the first modern sovereign of 1817.
