Issued in 2015, this premium three-coin gold proof set captures a pivotal moment in the history of British coinage. It is a distinguished collection comprising the £2 piece, the Sovereign, and the Half Sovereign, each struck in 22 carat gold to the exacting proof standard for which the Royal Mint is known. Through multiple strikes of hand-prepared dies, these coins achieve a brilliant finish, with mirror-like fields that contrast beautifully against the frosted relief of the designs.

The obverse of each coin features the fourth definitive coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley. This set holds particular interest for collectors as it represents one of the final opportunities to acquire these denominations bearing the Rank-Broadley effigy before the transition to the fifth portrait later that year. The classic legend surrounding the Queen’s portrait remains a testament to the tradition and continuity maintained throughout her long reign.

On the reverse, each coin displays Benedetto Pistrucci’s timeless masterpiece, Saint George and the dragon. First appearing on the Sovereign in 1817, this design continues to define the series with its sense of drama and heroic motion. Whether displayed in its original presentation case or kept as a complete set, this collection serves as a significant record of the craftsmanship and heritage that define the modern Sovereign. It remains a refined choice for those who admire the artistry of Pistrucci and the historical progression of the Royal Mint's definitive portraiture.
