2005 Gold Proof Sovereign NGC Graded PF 69 Ultra Cameo
This 2005 gold proof sovereign features a one-off St George and the Dragon design on the reverse. Designed by artist, Timothy Noad, this special design has only been used on the 2005 sovereigns.
Struck in 916.7 fine gold (22 carat) each of these gold sovereigns contains 0.2354 troy ounces of the precious metal.
This gold proof coin has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC), and graded as PF69. It is worth noting the coins are also Ultra Cameo, meaning there's a high contrast between the matte and mirror finish on the design.
A total of 15,458 of the 2005 proof sovereigns were minted, which includes those issued as part of sets. See the rest of the 2005 Sovereign Collection.
On only a few occasions, the Royal Mint have issued gold sovereigns with a different design, in each case for one single year only. As the supply is limited, the prices of these sovereigns have been increasing, they now change hands at about double the original issue price.

The obverse bears the Ian Rank-Broadley portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This is the fourth coinage portrait of Elizabeth to be used on UK coins. The text reads:
ELIZABETH • II • DEI • GRA • REGINA • FID • DEF
The reverse was designed by Timothy Noad. It features a stylised depiction of St George slaying the dragon. The date can be found at the bottom of the coin.
