Description
Perhaps the most recognisable portrait of Queen Elizabeth II was put into use in 1998 by the Royal Mint and the Royal household in general. Ian Rank-Broadley designed an older portrait of Elizabeth to more realistically portray her age, but also the significant position she held in British society as one of the longest ever reigning monarchs. The first two years of production continued to be proof-only, but in 2000 the Royal Mint decided to restart bullion Sovereign production.
Obverse hosts the 4th Portrait of HM The Queen, Elizabeth II, by Ian Rank-Broadley.
The Reverse includes a return to the classic depiction of ‘St George and the dragon’ by Benedetto Pistrucci.
Coin comes in plastic flip or paper coin holder.
