Day's reinterpretation of Benedetto Pistrucci's classic Saint George and the Dragon takes a more dramatic, Arthurian approach: a medieval knight locked in combat with a larger, more menacing dragon, with the engraver's initials \"PD\" below the horse's hoof and the date set to the left. It was only the third time in the modern Sovereign's history that Pistrucci's design had been set aside for a special occasion, following 1989 and 2002.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe obverse across all five coins carries Ian Rank-Broadley's fourth definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, used on UK coinage between 1998 and 2015.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSet Highlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete five-coin set: Quarter, Half, full, Double, and Quintuple Sovereign\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery coin individually certified NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo — the highest possible grade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-year-only Diamond Jubilee reverse design by Paul Day, personally approved by Queen Elizabeth II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eObverse: Ian Rank-Broadley's fourth definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStruck in 22 carat gold to proof finish by The Royal Mint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOfficial set mintage capped at 999, with trade sources suggesting the true number issued may be closer to 956\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach coin individually encapsulated 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\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDenomination\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDiameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQuarter Sovereign\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.997 grams\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHalf Sovereign\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.994 grams\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.30 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull Sovereign\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7.980 grams\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e22.05 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDouble Sovereign\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.98 grams\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28.40 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQuintuple Sovereign\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39.94 grams\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36.02 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYear\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2012\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 Set Gold Weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e69.87 grams\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\u003eIan Rank-Broadley (fourth portrait)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReverse Designer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaul Day (one-year-only Diamond Jubilee design)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSet Mintage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e999 (official cap; trade estimates suggest ~956 actually issued)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrading\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNGC PF70 Ultra Cameo (all five coins)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy This Set Stands Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2012 Diamond Jubilee Sovereign is one of the most collected one-year-only designs in the modern series, and sourcing all five denominations at PF70 Ultra Cameo is considerably harder than finding any single coin at that grade — particularly the larger Double and Quintuple Sovereigns.
