1979 Full Sovereign Proof

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.
