In 1992 the Royal Mint released a very Limited Issue St George and the Dragon Gold Proof Half Sovereign Coin struck in solid 22 Carat Gold Certified Slabbed and Graded by PCGS as PR69 DCAM.

The Sovereign, deliberately created to convey the majesty and dignity of the English Throne, was first struck as a coin in 1489 during the reign of King Henry VII and was duly struck in turn by each of the Tudor Monarchs.

Shortly after the Stuart succession, however, James I brought the issue of the Sovereign to an end and it did not reappear for another 200 years.
The Coinage reform that followed the Napoleonic Wars brought the return of this magnificent coin and for the new Gold Sovereign of 1817, the traditional heraldic reverse was abandoned in favour of a George and Dragon of classic beauty by Benedetto Pistrucci.

Now acclaimed as a masterpiece of numismatic art and famed throughout the world, Pistrucci's St George graces the solid 22 Carat Gold Proof Half Sovereign Coin of 1992.
The obverse features the portrait of the Queen by Raphael Maklouf.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
