GREAT BRITAIN 1980 PROOF SOVEREIGN FDC IN CASE OF ISSUE

The most affordable way of seeing Pistrucci's timeless St George & dragon design on a gold proof coin.

Production of sovereigns for the collector market was non existent between 1937 and 1957, and with a mintage of 91,000 coins, this date is the most readily available of all of the QEII proof sovereigns.

This makes the 1980 proof sovereign one of the most affordable ways of obtaining Benedetto Pistrucci's timeless St George & Dragon design struck in gold with a cameo finish on a mirrored reverse. This coin remains in it's original packaging, with the certificate of authenticity.
