ELIZABETH II, 1980 GOLD PROOF SOVEREIGN

In modern decimal times the Mint has released figures of how many coins of a commemorative issue are actually “issued”, rather than a calendar year output. These figures are useful, as often on certificates with these coins a “Limited Edition” figure is given which is the maximum number that could exist. The issue figure is often less than the limit of the edition, if an edition of coin is not a “sell-out”. Queen Elizabeth II has ruled for sixty years in 2012 and is the second-longest reigning monarch in British history after Queen Victoria. If she rules beyond the 10 September 2015, Queen Elizabeth will become the longest reigning British monarch. In her long reign Queen Elizabeth’s coinage has been through several portrait changes, more so since decimalisation in February 1971. The Second Bust of Queen Elizabeth II Decimalisation “D-Day” was 14 February 1971 and marked a change in the design of the coinage with new decimal reverses for the new denominations. A new obverse design of a more mature crowned portrait was also introduced. Arnold Machin (30 September 1911 - 9 March 1999) was the designer and also for the portrait upon the decimal stamps. His obverse lasted until 1984 dated coinage, 1985 marking the introduction of the portrait by Raphael David Maklouf.

1989 was the very year that marked the 500th anniversary of the gold sovereign, and so to mark this special year the Royal Mint struck this beautiful proof sovereign.
