The 2012 Gold Proof Sovereign is a standout issue struck to honour the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. This one-year-only commemorative features a unique crowned shield reverse, replacing the traditional St George and the Dragon for the first time in a regular sovereign issue since 2005. Designed by Timothy Noad, the reverse celebrates the royal heritage with an updated interpretation of the Royal Arms.
This particular example has been graded PF70 Ultra Cameo by NGC, confirming it is a flawless specimen with deep cameo contrast and perfect mirror finish.
Struck in 22 carat gold and issued by The Royal Mint in limited numbers, the 2012 Sovereign remains one of the most desirable modern proof sovereigns of the reign.
