About this coin

This stunning Proof Gold Sovereign features the elegant Arnold Machin portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, showing Her Late Majesty wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara. The reverse displays Benedetto Pistrucci’s timeless depiction of St George slaying the dragon, struck to the highest proof standard with exceptional detail and contrast.

Graded a perfect PF70 Ultra Cameo by NGC, this coin is flawless under 5x magnification, with deeply mirrored fields and sharply frosted design to the finest grade achievable and the equivalent of FDC in traditional British terms. Struck in 22 carat gold at the London Mint, it follows the classic sovereign specification with a milled edge and upright die axis.

What the grade means

PF70 Ultra Cameo places this coin at the top of the 70 point proof scale used by NGC and PCGS, awarded only where no flaw is visible under five times magnification. Ultra Cameo records the strongest contrast the service recognises between frosted raised design and mirror field. How grading works
