About the portrait

Years of use
• UK coinage including sovereigns. 1985 to 1997.
Designer initials
• RDM on the truncation (Raphael David Maklouf).
Relevance to sovereign collectors
• Used on all sovereign denominations through the late 1980s and 1990s, including popular large-format 5 sovereign proofs.
