UK 2017 Gold Proof Sovereign
The 2017 Proof Sovereign is one the most sought-after pieces in British numismatics, issued by the Royal Mint to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the modern sovereign.
In 1817 during the reign of King George III, the Sovereign was revived as part of the great coinage reform, featuring Pistrucci’s St George and the Dragon for the very first time.
200 years later, The Royal Mint issued a special one-year-only Proof Sovereign inspired by the Benedetto Pistrucci’s 1817 edition.
And with just a tiny number available today, here’s why you need it for your collection:
- 2017 was the first time that Pistrucci’s masterpiece with the full inscription was used on a member of the Sovereign family since 1820.
- A sought-after celebratory one-year-only edition of the Sovereign celebrating the 200th Anniversary of Pistrucci’s design, struck to a flawless Proof finish
- Features the Order of the Garter and the fifth coinage portrait of Elizabeth II by Jody Clark
- Tiny number available for Westminster Collectors – rarely seen on the secondary market
