In 1989 to celebrate the 500th Anniversary of the First Gold Sovereign, the Royal Mint released a special Limited Issue Tudor Rose £2 Two Pound Double Sovereign Gold Proof Coin struck in solid 22 Carat Gold Certified Slabbed and Graded by PCGS as PR70 DCAM with special NFC Anti-Counterfeiting Technology designed by Bernard Sindali, both of which are modern adaptions of the original Sovereign design of 1489.

The reverse is a Shield of the Royal Arms ensigned by an open Royal Crown, the whole superimposed upon a double rose and the circumscription ANNIVERSARY OF THE GOLD SOVEREIGN 1489-1989.
The obverse shows H M Queen Elizabeth II seated as at her Coronation, within the circumscription ELIZABETH II DEI GRA REG FID DEF, which may be translated as Elizabeth II - by grace of god, Queen, defender of the faith.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
