The Foundations of a New Reign: The 2024 Double Sovereign
The 2024 Gold Proof Double Sovereign (£2 coin) is a significant "first" for numismatists. Following the unique commemorative designs of 2022 and 2023, this 2024 release represents the return to tradition. It is the first Double Sovereign of King Charles III’s reign to feature the definitive, uncrowned coinage portrait alongside the iconic St George and the Dragon reverse.
Flawless NGC PF70 Ultra Cameo Grade
This specimen has been certified as PF70 Ultra Cameo by NGC—the highest grade achievable. A "70" grade denotes a perfect coin that shows no post-production flaws even under 5x professional magnification. The "Ultra Cameo" designation ensures a breathtaking contrast between the satin-frosted relief and the deep, mirror-polished fields, which is particularly striking on the larger surface area of a Double Sovereign.
Design & Collector Appeal
- The Obverse: Features the first definitive (uncrowned) coinage portrait of His Majesty King Charles III by Martin Jennings. This portrait will likely define the King's coinage for decades to come.
- The Reverse: Marks the return of Benedetto Pistrucci’s legendary 1817 "St George and the Dragon" design to the Double Sovereign series.
- Limited Mintage: Double Sovereigns are struck in significantly smaller quantities than standard sovereigns, making them inherently scarcer and highly sought after by "Type" collectors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the 2024 Double Sovereign Capital Gains Tax (CGT) exempt?
A: Yes. As official UK legal tender with a face value of £2, this gold coin is 100% exempt from CGT for UK residents, regardless of the profit made upon resale.
Q: Why buy a Double Sovereign instead of a Full Sovereign?
A: The Double Sovereign is preferred by many collectors because its larger 28.40mm diameter allows for far more detail to be seen in the engraving. Furthermore, their lower mintage numbers often lead to higher numismatic premiums over time compared to the more common full sovereign.
Q: Does this coin come in a protective holder?
A: Yes, this coin is professionally sealed in a tamper-proof NGC protective slab. This not only preserves its perfect PF70 grade but also provides a permanent record of its authenticity and quality.
