The 2020 Proof Great Britain Gold Sovereign release was a special event that included a five-coin set from the Royal Mint. The 2020 date mark was important because the Proof Gold Sovereigns came with a royal cypher mint mark, an inclusion that notes the 200th anniversary of the death of King George III, the monarch responsible for the reintroduction of the Gold Sovereign. Right now, 2020 Proof Great Britain Gold Sovereign 5-Coin Sets are available to purchase online at JM Bullion in perfect condition.
Coin Set Highlights:
Each of the 2020 Proof Great Britain Sovereign 5-Coin Sets available here come with individual plastic slabs for each coin. These coins have PF70 certifications that indicate a perfect specimen with full, original mint luster and no detracting flaws.
The British Gold Sovereign was first introduced in 1489 during the reign of King Henry VII as a replacement for the earlier gold coins that had become worn out and debased. However, Sovereigns were suspended by King James I in the 17th century, only to be revived by King George III in 1817. George III was the third monarch of the House of Hanover and ruled over Great Britain and Ireland from 1760 until his death in 1820.
Queen Elizabeth II is on the obverse of all coins in the 2020 Proof Gold Sovereign 5-Coin Set. Her Majesty is shown here in right-profile relief in the 2015 design from Jody Clark. This image depicts the Queen at the age of 89.
St. George is shown in the reverse design of each 2020 Proof Gold Coin in the Sovereign 5-Coin Set. This design from Benedetto Pistrucci was created in 1817 for the then-new British Gold Sovereign. This side of the coin includes the royal cypher mint mark honoring the 200th anniversary of George III’s death.
