1989 Tudor Rose Full Sovereign Gold Proof Coin Box Coa

In 1989 to celebrate the 500th Anniversary of the First Gold Sovereign, the Royal Mint released a very Limited Issue Tudor Rose Gold Proof Full Sovereign Coin struck in solid 22 Carat Gold and features a new obverse and reverse design.

The 1989 Gold Proof Full Sovereign Coin, designed by Bernard Sindali, 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 Her Majesty 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.
