Issued by The Royal Mint to commemorate the 200th anniversary of King George III’s death, this 2020 Gold Proof Sovereign features a unique privy mark on the reverse – a small crown and cypher that pays tribute to the long-reigning monarch.
Struck in 22-carat gold to the highest proof standard, this edition preserves the classic St George and the Dragon design by Benedetto Pistrucci, enhanced by the subtle addition of the commemorative privy mark – making it a must-have for both sovereign collectors and Royal commemorative enthusiasts.
Each coin was issued in a luxury presentation case with an individually numbered certificate of authenticity and had a strictly limited mintage.
