This 2017 Double Sovereign Gold Proof PF70 Ultra Cameo marks the 200th anniversary of the modern sovereign and features Benedetto Pistrucci’s iconic St George and the Dragon design in its purest and most faithful form. Struck by the Royal Mint in 22-carat gold with a flawless proof finish, this special anniversary issue celebrates two centuries of the sovereign as the world’s most recognised gold coin.
Graded PF70 Ultra Cameo by NGC, this coin displays perfect surfaces, deep mirrored fields and strong frosting on the devices. Only a fraction of the 2017 proof Double Sovereign mintage achieves PF70 status, making examples at this grade highly sought after among collectors of premium modern proofs.
The obverse features the Jody Clark portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the reverse presents Pistrucci’s classic engraving, restored to commemorate the sovereign’s bicentenary. The Double Sovereign contains 0.4708 troy ounces of fine gold and has long been favoured by collectors for its larger canvas, allowing the artistry of the design to stand out more prominently than on the standard sovereign.
The 2017 proof range is regarded as one of the standout modern releases due to its historical significance, exceptional finish and strong demand from collectors celebrating 200 years of the sovereign’s legacy. PF70 Ultra Cameo examples continue to command attention due to their rarity, desirability and perfect preservation.
