A Masterpiece of Modern Minting: The 1993 Double Sovereign
The 1993 Gold Proof Double Sovereign (Two Pound piece) is a standout addition to any serious gold collection. Struck in 22-carat gold to the highest proof standard, this coin represents the pinnacle of The Royal Mint's craftsmanship during the early 1990s.
Flawless NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo Grade
This specimen has been awarded the perfect PF70 Ultra Cameo grade by NGC. For a double sovereign of this age, achieving a "70" is exceptional. The "Ultra Cameo" designation indicates a deep, mirror-like field contrasted with heavily frosted devices, creating a stunning visual "pop" that is highly prized by investors and collectors alike.
Design & Significance
- The Design: Features the classic St George and the Dragon reverse by Benedetto Pistrucci, a design that has defined the Sovereign series for over 200 years.
- Centenary Connection: 1993 marked the 100th anniversary of the "Veiled Head" portrait of Queen Victoria, making this year a popular choice for historical-themed collections.
- Investment Appeal: Double Sovereigns contain exactly double the gold content of a full sovereign (15.98g), offering a substantial weight in hand and a larger surface area to appreciate the proof finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the 1993 Double Sovereign Capital Gains Tax (CGT) exempt?
A: Yes. As it is a legal tender UK coin with a face value of £2, it is fully exempt from CGT for UK residents, regardless of how much the value appreciates.
Q: How rare is a PF70 grade for a 1993 Double Sovereign?
A: While the total mintage was 3,495, only a small percentage of those submitted to NGC achieve the perfect 70 grade. Most older proofs suffer from "copper spots" or handling marks, making a flawless PF70 a true rarity.
Q: Does this come with the original certificate (COA)?
A: This coin is professionally slabbed and authenticated by NGC. The slab itself acts as the ultimate certificate of authenticity and grade. Please check the product images for the specific NGC certification number.
