Description
The Sovereign coin has remained a symbol of consistency through changing times. This particular sovereign is struck to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the throne. This 2022 Platinum Jubilee edition is one of 10,500 coins minted, with a total weight of 7.98 grams and made of 22-carat gold (91.67% pure gold).
On the obverse side of the coin, you will find the fifth crowned portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, right, wearing the George IV State Diadem, with the legend around. Whilst the reverse bears the royal arms, at its centre a crowned and quartered shield supported by a crowned English lion on the left and a Scottish unicorn on the right, date below.
What distinguishes this edition is its proof finish, which is achieved through multiple strikes with hand-prepared dies. Proof coins exhibit an attractive high-contrast appearance and are minted in smaller quantities compared to their bullion counterparts.
These proof coins are presented in a box and a certificate of authenticity.
