The 2018 Gold Proof Double Sovereign was issued to mark the 65th anniversary of the coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, a remarkable royal milestone. This special edition features a discreet privy mark on the reverse to commemorate the occasion, making it one of the more sought-after modern commemorative sovereigns.
Struck in 22-carat gold and graded PCGS PR70DCAM, this coin is in perfect condition – with ultra-deep mirrored fields and heavily frosted devices that highlight every detail of the design.
The reverse bears Benedetto Pistrucci’s timeless St George and the Dragon design, while the obverse carries the fifth portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark.
As a double sovereign, it contains twice the gold content of a standard full sovereign and offers greater visual presence and investment appeal. The addition of the coronation privy mark further enhances its rarity and collectibility.

Why This Coin Stands Out
The 2018 Gold Proof Double Sovereign with the 65th Coronation Privy Mark is a flawless, low-mintage issue celebrating a royal milestone that will likely never be repeated. In perfect PR70 Deep Cameo condition, it stands at the pinnacle of modern sovereign collecting – combining historical significance, design excellence and rarity in one exceptional coin.
