The 1982 Gold Proof Full Sovereign is a superb example of early modern proof sovereigns, struck by The Royal Mint in 22-carat gold to the highest standards. Graded NGC PF69 Ultra Cameo, this coin is virtually flawless, showcasing deeply mirrored fields and beautifully frosted devices, with just the slightest permissible imperfection preventing a perfect PF70.
The reverse features Benedetto Pistrucci’s iconic design of St George slaying the Dragon, a timeless image that has appeared on sovereigns for over two centuries. The obverse carries the elegant second portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Arnold Machin, used between 1974 and 1984.
Sovereigns from the early 1980s are growing in demand, particularly in high grades like PF69, as collectors and investors look to complete full proof date runs.

Why This Coin Stands Out
The 1982 Gold Proof Sovereign in PF69 Ultra Cameo condition offers a near-perfect example from a popular decade for modern sovereigns. With its classic design, high grade, and growing scarcity, this coin is an ideal choice for collectors aiming to secure top-quality 1980s sovereigns.

Buying New or Preowned Gold and Silver
At Sovara Coins, we offer both new and preowned gold and silver products to suit various investment strategies. Purchasing preowned bullion can be a cost-effective option, as it often comes with a lower premium over the spot price, allowing you to maximize your investment.
While preowned items may show minor signs of wear, such as scratches, milk spots or tarnishing, they are sold strictly as bullion, with their precious metal content fully guaranteed. Whether you choose new or preowned, you can be confident in the quality and authenticity of our products.
