First time ever that gold proof sovereigns have been designated as first strike by the Royal Mint. The first ten gold proof 5 piece sets have been numbered #1-10.
Part of the 5 piece set, this particular 1/4 sovereign comes with a Royal Mint's Certificate of Authenticity having the unbelievable #1.
Truly exceptional FDC, absolutely flawless with perfect CAMEO surfaces, superb strike and deep mirrored fields.
