Celebrate a momentous chapter in the history of The Sovereign with the 2005 Gold Proof Sovereign presented in flawless PF70 Ultra Cameo condition as certified by NGC. Struck in 22-carat gold, this Sovereign is distinguished by a one-year-only reverse design by heraldic artist Timothy Noad, marking a departure from tradition with a contemporary vision of St George and the Dragon.
On the obverse, the fourth definitive portrait of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, created by Ian Rank-Broadley, is captured in immaculate detail. The reverse, exclusive to this year, features St George wielding his sword above a winged dragon, his shield emblazoned with the iconic cross, symbolising courage and heritage in a powerful new light.
Graded by NGC as PF70 Ultra Cameo, this Sovereign is preserved in perfect condition, its mirrored fields and frosted reliefs accentuating every detail of the design. The coin is housed in a protective NGC holder, ensuring its pristine state is maintained for generations to come.
With a limited mintage of just 12,500 coins and a grade that signifies absolute perfection, this 2005 Gold Proof Sovereign stands as a crowning achievement in the Sovereign’s distinguished legacy.
