Description

The 1987 Gold Proof Sovereign was struck in 22-carat gold with Raphael Maklouf's third portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and Benedetto Pistrucci's St George and the Dragon on the reverse. It retains the established full Sovereign dimensions of 7.98 grams and 22.05 millimetres, with approximately 0.2352 troy ounces of fine gold. The proof strike was intended for collectors and provides sharply defined devices against reflective fields. Originally available in Royal Mint individual and multi-coin proof presentations, the 1987 issue forms part of the proof-only sequence between 1983 and 1997. Complete original packaging and documentation can materially influence collector desirability.
