Description
The 1937 Gold Proof Full Sovereign featuring King George VI is a highly sought-after collectible, particularly because it was the only Sovereign issued during his reign. This coin was part of a special four-coin set minted to commemorate King George VI’s coronation. With only 5,001 Sovereigns minted, its rarity enhances its value among collectors.
The coin features a portrait of King George VI by Humphrey Paget on the obverse, while the reverse displays the iconic image of St. George slaying the dragon, designed by Benedetto Pistrucci. It is made from 22-carat gold, weighs 7.98 grams, and has a diameter of 22.05 mm.
The Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) has graded this particular coin as PF 66 (Proof 66), indicating it is in excellent condition with only minor imperfections. Proof coins are known for their high-quality finish, and this one is encapsulated to protect its condition. The coin is also exempt from both VAT and Capital Gains Tax in the UK, making it an attractive investment for collectors.
