1983 Great Britain UK 3-Coin Gold Proof Set (w/Box & COA)

  

In 1983 the Royal Mint issued three the United Kingdom gold proof coins, with maximum minting limits of 22,500 each of the half-sovereign and sovereign, and 12,500 of the two-pound denomination, some of which have been reserved for issue in this three-coin gold proof collection.

The classic reverse design of the coins depicts the Benedetto Pistrucci portrayal of  St George, on horseback, slaying the dragon. The engraver’s initials ‘BP’ can be found on the base under the right rear hoof of the horse. The obverse depicts the renowned Arnold Machin portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II which has appeared on nearly all United Kingdom coinage since 1968.

Proof coins are struck to the highest standards using specially selected blanks and highly polished dies. The relief design is further enhanced by an attractive frosted finish which provides a pleasing contrast to the mirror-like background. 

Like all of our other gold coin sets, this one is guaranteed to be 100% authentic. Item will be wrapped and packaged safely for delivery.
