2022 NGC PF-70 UC Gold Sovereign Queen Elizabeth II Memorial 3-Coin Proof Set - Miles Standish Signature Label

The Royal Mint pays homage to the longest-reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, by releasing a unique 3-Coin Proof Set of Gold Sovereign Coins coin.

The first release of the Sovereign Collection dates back to the Tudor Era. It aimed to produce a distinctive 20-shilling gold coin with a unique reverse design created by Italian engraver Benedetto Pistrucci featuring St. George slaying the dragon.

Over the years, designs were updated to reflect the contemporary scenario of the British Empire, which made them esteemed as atemporal memorabilia worldwide.

This coin set consists of three proof gold coins: a 2022 Memorial Proof Sovereign, a 2022 Memorial Proof Half Sovereign, and a 2022 Memorial Proof Quarter Sovereign.

These coins are graded as perfect PF-70 UCam samples and sealed in NGC slabs with the exclusive Miles Standish Director's Medal of Excellence label.

Miles Standish was a noted numismatist who served NGC and other independent third-party services. He published numerous award-winning articles and books and offered relevant contributions to the numismatic market.

At SD Bullion, you can purchase a 3-Coin Proof Set of Gold Sovereign coins, individually sealed in NGC slabs with the Exclusive Miles Standish Label and graded as PF-70 UCam coins.

The Design

This coin set is among the first to feature Martin Jennings' portrait of King Charles III, who ascended to the throne in September 2022 after the passing of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. Jennings' portrait depicts the new King facing left, opposite the direction of his predecessor, surrounded by the inscriptions “CHARLES III DEI GRA REX FID DEF.”

Additionally, these coins feature a unique reverse design commissioned by The Royal Mint in tribute to the late Queen. Created by Jody Clark, renowned for designing the fifth and final coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth, this special reverse showcases the royal arms supported by the lion of England and the unicorn of Scotland. The design is rich in detail, with intricate flourishes and national flower emblems filling every space. Although thematically similar to Timothy Noad's Platinum Jubilee design, Clark's creation is distinct in style, reflecting the blend of continuity and change heralded by the new reign.

An NGC PF-70 UCAM Coin 

In order to appraise and grade coins, third-party services like NGC—Numismatic Guaranty Company use the Sheldon Scale as a parameter.

The initials PF stand for Proof Coin, indicating a coin produced for collection purposes. It exhibits mirror-like surfaces in contrast with frosted design elements. The expression “UCAM” or Ultra Cameo means this contrast is deeper and more intense than in other proof coins.

Grade 70 is the highest and is attributed to coins with no visible marks.
