The Pinnacle of the Bicentenary: 2017 Struck on the Day Sovereign

The 2017 Gold Sovereign "Struck on the Day" is a historic numismatic event. Minted at The Royal Mint on 1st July 2017, this coin marks exactly 200 years since the modern sovereign was first introduced in 1817. Unlike the standard 2017 bullion coins, this commemorative issue was struck specifically on the anniversary date with a strictly limited mintage of just 1,786 pieces.

Perfect NGC MS70 DPL Grade

This specimen has achieved the ultimate grade of MS70 DPL (Deep Prooflike). An MS70 grade signifies a perfect coin with no post-production flaws. The "DPL" designation is reserved for Mint State coins that exhibit exceptional, mirror-like reflectivity in the fields, creating a high-contrast "cameo" effect usually only seen on Proof strikes.

Special Anniversary Garter Design

  • The Reverse: Features a remastered version of Benedetto Pistrucci’s original 1817 design, including the iconic Order of the Garter border with the motto "HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE."
  • Exclusive Strike: The "Struck on the Day" issue is highly coveted because it represents a specific moment in time, making it a centerpiece for any 200th-anniversary collection.
  • Obverse: Features the fifth definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark, with the date appearing on the obverse—a rare layout for the sovereign series.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes the "Struck on the Day" sovereign different?
A: Standard sovereigns are struck throughout the year. "Struck on the Day" coins are minted in a single 24-hour window on a specific anniversary. Because they are produced in such small quantities (only 1,786 for this 2017 issue), they carry a much higher collector premium.

Q: What does "DPL" stand for in the grade?
A: DPL stands for "Deep Prooflike." It means that although the coin was not struck using Proof dies, the intensity of the strike and the quality of the planchet resulted in fields so mirrored that they mimic a Proof finish.

Q: Is this 2017 Sovereign CGT exempt?
A: Yes. As UK Legal Tender, this 2017 Gold Sovereign is 100% exempt from Capital Gains Tax (CGT) for UK residents, regardless of the profit made upon resale.
