Since the re-introduction of the sovereign in 1817, one design has graced the sovereign more times than any other, that design is Benedetto Pistrucci's design of St. George's mythical slaying of the Dragon; it has become the mainstay of the sovereign.
On occasions we have seen a Shield Back or Crowned Wreath design, but Pistrucci's design is the one that has stood the test of time. However in 2005, the Royal Mint announced that a modern rendition of the St. George & The Dragon would grace the world's most famous coin for just one-year-only.
The honour of creating this new design went to renowned artist Timothy Noad from the Royal College of Arms and has since gone down in history as a 'British Classic.'
The edition limit of just 12,500 was quickly snapped up by collectors and sold out within weeks of its release causing thousands of collectors to miss out. Now, through months of unrelenting work by our team of specialists, we have managed to assemble a handful of these in-demand sovereigns giving you the chance not to miss out for a second time.
This could be your one and only chance to own this hard to find 2005 Proof Sovereign issued by the Royal Mint. To avoid missing out on this fantastic opportunity, place your order today.
