- Special one year Proof issue!
- A sought-after celebratory one year only edition of The Sovereign
- Struck in 2012 the Diamond Jubilee year of Queen Elizabeth II
- The coins feature an alternative St George and the dragon reverse design designed by Paul Day.
- Featuring the fourth coinage portrait of The Queen by Ian Rank Broadley
For the 2012 Sovereign coin, The Royal Mint launched a competition to find a new design. The Royal Mint Advisory Committee eventually selected a design by the British sculptor Paul Day.
“I have chosen to opt for a romantic version of the St George and the dragon theme,” said Paul, “a medieval knight of Arthurian legend rather than a classical hero. I have given the dragon a more threatening attitude and size, so that it represents a real menace and not a weak foe.”
Paul deliberately left very little empty space, making the reverse as engaging as possible and very different from the obverse. As he says, “I have always been attracted to detail which requires a closer look to be unpicked and fully understood.”
