Gold Sovereign - Collection 2005 - Proof - Modern Motif
This exclusive gold coin set contains two gold coins (a Sovereign and a half Sovereign) minted by The Royal Mint in 2005 in premium proof quality. In its millennia-long tradition of minting, the Royal Mint first struck gold Sovereigns between 1817 and 1917, after the British government decided in 1816 to re-stabilise the currency of Great Britain due to economic difficulties following the French Revolutionary Wars and the Napoleonic Wars. The Sovereign was reissued in 1925 and has continued to be minted since 1957. The coin is named after the English Gold Sovereign, which was minted between 1489 and 1604.
The reverse of the coin features a new design of St George in armour on horseback fighting a dragon by English calligrapher and illuminator Timothy Noad. This rare modern motif of Saint George fighting a dragon was only produced on these sovereigns in 2005. Following the restoration of the mints, the British Royal Mint has once again returned to the traditional depiction of St George fighting the dragon by Italian engraver Benedetto Pistrucci. The motif is complemented by the year of issue and the initials of the artist "TN". The obverse traditionally portrays the British Queen Elizabeth II looking to the right, by the British sculptor Ian Rank-Brodley. The portrait is accompanied by the inscriptions 'ELIZABETH II DEI GRA REGINA FID DEF' and the artist's initials 'IRB'.
The coins come in a gift box with a certificate of authenticity in a limited edition of only 3000 pieces for the whole world!
