A Modern Proof Masterpiece: The 2019 Royal Mint Gold Proof Quintuple Sovereign in NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo
The 2019 Gold Proof Quintuple Sovereign is the largest and most prestigious piece in The Royal Mint's 2019 proof sovereign family — a 39.94-gram, five-sovereign gold coin struck in 22-carat gold to the highest proof standard. Carrying Benedetto Pistrucci's timeless St George and the Dragon reverse and the fifth definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark, the 2019 Quintuple Sovereign was issued as part of a strictly limited five-coin proof set with a maximum mintage of just 750.
This example has been certified NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo — the highest grade numerically possible — under NGC certification number [INSERT CERT NUMBER]. At PF70, every surface is considered absolutely perfect under expert examination at 5x magnification. The Ultra Cameo designation confirms outstanding frosted relief set against deeply mirrored fields — the definitive proof presentation. Verify this coin's grade on NGCcoin.uk →

Why This Coin
- Mintage of Just 750 — Exclusively Set-Issued: The 2019 Quintuple Sovereign was available solely as the centrepiece of The Royal Mint's 2019 five-coin proof sovereign set. With a global ceiling of just 750 examples and significant quantities already absorbed into long-term collections, PF70 graded examples represent a particularly thin slice of that already small mintage.
- The Largest Denomination in the Sovereign Family: At 39.94g and 36.02mm, the Quintuple Sovereign is five times the weight of a standard sovereign and the largest coin in the proof sovereign range. Pistrucci's St George and the Dragon design — at this scale and struck to proof standard — is one of the most visually commanding expressions of the sovereign tradition. Achieving PF70 across a 36mm proof surface is a genuine technical standard of excellence.
- Final Years of the Jody Clark Portrait: The 2019 issue carries Jody Clark's fifth definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II — the portrait used on UK coinage from 2015 until Her Majesty's passing in 2022. Collector interest in Elizabeth II sovereign issues has strengthened significantly since 2022, and the 2019 date — as one of the final few years of her reign — is attracting increasing numismatic attention.
- Pistrucci's Enduring Reverse: The St George and the Dragon reverse by Benedetto Pistrucci has appeared on the sovereign since 1817 — over two centuries of continuous use. On this 2019 proof strike, every detail of the design benefits from multiple die passes and hand-finished dies, producing the intense cameo contrast and depth of field that distinguishes a proof issue from a standard strike.
- CGT & VAT Exempt — Fully Tax-Free for UK Investors: As official UK legal tender (£5 face value), this coin is completely exempt from Capital Gains Tax (CGT) and VAT under current UK law. Any appreciation in value is entirely tax-free for UK holders — one of the most significant structural advantages of sovereign-denomination gold as an investment.
💷 UK Tax Status
This coin is CGT exempt and VAT free for UK residents. As British legal tender, any gain on sale is not subject to Capital Gains Tax — a significant advantage for investors holding gold sovereigns as part of a long-term portfolio.
"The largest and rarest piece in its year's proof sovereign family — 39.94 grams of 22-carat gold, certified flawless, from a mintage of just 750."
