Description

The 1988 Gold Proof Sovereign carries Raphael Maklouf's third portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and Benedetto Pistrucci's classic St George and the Dragon reverse. It was the final standard-design proof immediately before the special 500th-anniversary issue of 1989. The coin is struck in 22-carat gold, weighs 7.98 grams and measures 22.05 millimetres, containing approximately 0.2352 troy ounces of fine gold. Proof preparation creates reflective fields and strongly defined relief. The Royal Mint offered the 1988 Sovereign individually and in proof-set formats with official presentation packaging. Its place directly before the one-year 1989 redesign makes it a useful endpoint for the first standard Raphael Maklouf proof sequence.
