Celebrate two centuries of numismatic artistry with the 2017 Great Britain Proof Gold 1/4 Sovereign NGC PF 70 UCAM – Pistrucci 200th Anniversary, available at Bullion Exchanges. This proof coin, graded a flawless PF 70 Ultra Cameo (UCAM) by NGC, contains 0.0589 troy ounces of .9167 fine gold (22 karats). Issued by the Royal Mint, the coin honors the 200th anniversary of Benedetto Pistrucci’s iconic St. George and the Dragon design, one of the most enduring images in British coinage.

The British Sovereign was reintroduced in 1817 as part of Great Britain’s Great Recoinage following the Napoleonic Wars. To mark this revival, Italian engraver Benedetto Pistrucci created the now-legendary image of St. George and the Dragon, symbolizing victory, bravery, and the triumph of good over evil.

For 200 years, Pistrucci’s design has graced sovereigns and their fractional issues, becoming one of the most recognized and celebrated motifs in the world of coinage. The 2017 anniversary proof sovereigns were struck to honor this legacy, combining historical importance, gold value, and the precision of modern minting. Collectors regard these issues as essential milestones in the long-running sovereign series.
