Description

The 1983 Gold Proof Sovereign is the first date in the modern period when the full Sovereign was issued only with a proof finish. Arnold Machin's second portrait of Queen Elizabeth II appears on the obverse, while Benedetto Pistrucci's St George and the Dragon occupies the reverse. Struck in 22-carat gold, the coin weighs 7.98 grams, measures 22.05 millimetres in diameter and contains approximately 0.2352 troy ounces of fine gold. The proof manufacture produces mirrored fields and finely rendered devices. The coin was issued individually and within official multi-coin Sovereign proof sets, normally housed in Royal Mint cases with supporting documentation. It begins the proof-only run that continued until bullion Sovereign production resumed in 2000.
