NGC has certified it with a \u003cstrong\u003eMint Error\u003c\/strong\u003e designation and the attribution \u003cstrong\u003e\"Reverse Struck Thru\"\u003c\/strong\u003e, meaning a foreign object came between the die and the gold blank at the moment of striking. The coin was struck through it, leaving an impression on the reverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNGC does not deduct points for a struck-through itself. The coin is graded on its remaining surfaces and carries the error designation on its label, which is why an error coin can still reach an excellent grade. This one is certified \u003cstrong\u003eNGC PF69 Ultra Cameo\u003c\/strong\u003e, with deep mirrored fields and strong frosted contrast on the rest of the coin. Gold proofs are checked by the Mint's quality control, which is part of why errors on them are so seldom seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse carries Benedetto Pistrucci's Saint George and the Dragon, first used on the modern Sovereign in 1817. The obverse carries Raphael Maklouf's third definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, showing her wearing the George IV State Diadem, with the designer's initials on the truncation. It was in use on UK coinage from 1985 to 1997.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCoin Highlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine mint error: NGC \"Reverse Struck Thru\" attribution on the certification label\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuintuple Sovereign (Five Sovereign), the largest denomination in the Sovereign range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReported mintage of just 1,165 for the 1992 proof issue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eObverse: Raphael Maklouf's third definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReverse: Benedetto Pistrucci's Saint George and the Dragon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStruck in 22 carat gold to proof finish by The Royal Mint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertified NGC PF69 Ultra Cameo with Mint Error designation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEncapsulated in a tamper-evident NGC holder for authenticity and protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1992\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMint\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe Royal Mint, Llantrisant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComposition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22 carat gold (91.67% fine)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTotal Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39.94 grams\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFine Gold Content\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.1771 troy oz (36.61 grams)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36.02 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEdge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMilled\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eObverse Designer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRaphael Maklouf (third portrait)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReverse Designer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBenedetto Pistrucci\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReported Mintage (standard issue)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,165 (issue limit 1,250)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eError\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReverse struck through (NGC Mint Error attribution)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrading\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNGC PF69 Ultra Cameo, Mint Error\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy This Coin Stands Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProof Quintuple Sovereigns of the 1990s were issued in small numbers, and genuine mint errors on gold proofs are seldom seen.
