Elizabeth II 5-Piece Certified gold "Pistrucci Anniversary" Proof Set 2017 NGC,
1) 1/4 Sovereign, PR70 Ultra Cameo
2) 1/2 Sovereign, PR70 Ultra Cameo
3) Sovereign, PR69 Ultra Cameo
4) 2 Pounds, PR69 Ultra Cameo
5) 5 Pounds, PR69 Ultra Cameo
KM-Unl. One of the most popular of the modern British gold proof sets, struck to mark the 200th anniversary of the introduction of the Sovereign. In line with this event, the decision was made to feature Pistrucci's original 1817 design on the reverse of each coin, depicting St. George and the dragon within the English garter. As a result, the appearance of this set is remarkably appealing particularly for enthusiasts of the original design. Regardless of the slightly varying grades assigned to this set, each coin is absolutely perfect with a uniform rose-gold coloring; Elizabeth's portrait as well as the reverse scene are both superbly frosted on each, giving an excellent proof contrast. When first released, this set sold out almost immediately - for the collector of modern proofs or enthusiasts of the Sovereign series as a whole, this offering is a must-have. Comes with wooden box of issue and descriptive insert.
