Description
This Isle Of Man Proof Gold Sovereign 4-Coin Set includes a Quintuple Sovereign (£5 Coin), Double Sovereign (£2 Coin), Full Sovereign and a Half Sovereign. Dating to 1973, this set captures a precise point in the Isle of Man’s coinage history — a period that predates much of the modern commemorative market and carries the authentic character of early post-decimal British Crown dependency issues. For the historically minded numismatist, that context adds a layer of depth that newer issues simply cannot replicate. These sovereigns are struck in 22-carat gold and has a total weight of 67.88 grams.
The Obverse features the right facing uncouped bust of Queen Elizabeth II, wearing the ” Girls of Great Britain and Ireland ” Tiara, legend around, whilst the reverse features the mounted soldier above date.
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. This particular Sovereign set is one of 1,250 issued in 1973.
