1997 Gold Sovereign Elizabeth II Proof

The 1997 gold sovereign bears Raphael Maklouf's third effigy of ELIZABETH II on the obverse - the final year it was used on coins.

It is difficult to obtain the 1997 proof in nice condition. The coin that we have in stock as of March 2020 is a very pleasing example.
