The 1983 Gold Proof Sovereign 3-Coin Set

Gold Sovereigns
The modern sovereign was introduced in 1817. Issued with a nominal value of one pound, it was a circulation coin in Britain until the middle of World War I and abroad until 1932. The sovereign was reintroduced in 1957 as an investment coin to meet demand for gold bullion.
Proof Coins
Proof coins are specially produced to a much higher standard of finish. Originally, proofs were intended as pre-production samples. As a printer would produce a small number of "proof" copies for checking and approval, so a mint would produce proofs for approval by the mintmaster, the monarch, and for other purposes. When coin collecting began to become popular about two centuries ago, a larger number of proofs were sometimes made for sale to collectors.
Obverse
The obverse of the coin features the second portrait of Queen Elizabeth II as designed by designed by British Artist and Sculptor Arnold Machin. The coin bears the legend:
ELIZABETH · II · DEI · GRATIA · REGINA · F · D :
Reverse
Benedetto Pistrucci first designed the engraving of St George and the dragon in 1817. It is featured on the reverse of all of the coins in this set.
