In 2011 the Royal Mint released a very Limited Issue solid 22 Carat Gold Proof Sovereign 5 Coin Set and includes the £5 Five Pound Piece, £2 Two Pound Double Sovereign, Full Sovereign, Half Sovereign and Quarter Sovereign.
The set is housed in a handsome walnut-veneer presentation case and is accompanied by an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity signed by the Chief Executive of the Royal Mint.
Each of the 22 carat Gold Proof Sovereigns feature the legendary St George and the Dragon reverse designed by Benedetto Pistrucci, together with the portrait of Her Majesty, The Queen by Ian Rank Broadley FRBS on the obverse.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
