The 1998 gold proof half sovereign is a classic modern issue featuring the timeless St George and the dragon reverse design by Benedetto Pistrucci, widely regarded as one of the most iconic motifs in world coinage.
Struck in limited numbers for collectors, proof sovereigns from the late 1990s are increasingly sought after due to their relatively low mintages and strong demand for high-grade examples.
This coin has been certified PF70 Ultra Cameo by NGC, representing the finest possible condition with flawless mirrored fields and exceptional frosted contrast. Top-grade examples from this period are particularly desirable as survival rates in perfect condition remain limited.
Combining a classic sovereign design, strong collector appeal and the highest certification grade, the 1998 proof half sovereign represents an excellent addition for collectors of modern proof gold coinage.
