Description from the seller
An exceptional and highly sought-after 2005 Gold Proof Two Pounds coin (Double Sovereign) struck by the Royal Mint. This specific year is highly celebrated by numismatists worldwide because it features a rare, one-year-only contemporary reverse design of St. George and the Dragon by acclaimed artist Timothy Noad, replacing the traditional Pistrucci design for this year's sovereign family issues.
The reverse masterfully depicts St. George as a medieval knight on horseback, sword raised above a stylized dragon. The obverse features the fourth definitive portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley.
Struck to flawless Proof quality standard in 22-carat gold, the coin possesses a magnificent Ultra Cameo finish, showcasing intensely frosted design high-points resting against deep, flawless, mirror-like fields. The coin is beautifully preserved and remains completely sealed inside its original Royal Mint protective acrylic capsule, never handled. With a very limited standalone mintage of just 2,741 pieces, it is a premium addition to any elite British gold collection.
