NGC PF69 Ultra Cameo Gold Sovereign Elizabeth 1979 - 2024 Years

The Gold Proof Sovereign is a United Kingdom £1 gold coin struck in 22-carat (0.917 fine) gold with a full sovereign gold weight of 0.2354 troy ounces. Produced to proof standard, it features highly polished mirror fields with frosted design elements, creating the strong cameo contrast characteristic of modern proof issues.

Each coin has been certified by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) and assigned the grade PF-69 Ultra Cameo, indicating a near-perfect proof strike with strong contrast between the raised devices and the mirrored background. The Ultra Cameo designation is awarded only to pieces that exhibit particularly deep frost and pronounced contrast on both sides, making it a more selective subset of the overall proof mintage. The coin is encapsulated in an official NGC holder, which both protects the piece and displays the grading details.

The obverse presents the portrait of the reigning British monarch for the year of issue, while the reverse carries the classic St George and the Dragon design by Benedetto Pistrucci, a long-standing motif of the modern sovereign series's.
