The 1998 proof sovereign is a coin struck in 22 carat gold by the Royal Mint. The obverse was the fourth definitive UK coin portrait by Rank-Broadley, and was intended to be more realistic than previous portraits. Rank-Broadley said he wanted to “maximize its impact on smaller coins” by making the portrait as large as possible. A crowned portrait of HM Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara, legend around complete the design. On the reverse side of this coin you can see Benedetto Pistrucci’s depiction of Saint George slaying a dragon. The coin’s date is also inscribed at the bottom of the reverse. Proof Sovereigns are hand-finished to create a flawless effect, and are often struck multiple times with specially prepared dies to achieve a mirrored finish and clarity of detail.
This proof gold coin had a mintage figure of 11,349.
