ELIZABETH II, SOVEREIGN, 1968.
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 young head portrait by Gillick continued on most issues until the 1967 dated coins, with one last final issue for a commemorative 1970 proof set. The Maundy coinage presented each Maundy Thursday continues to carry this young head portrait to the present time. It has become rather worn and touched up on the master tools and famously in 2002 when issued in gold for the Golden Jubilee proof sets, some of the Maundy Twopences literally had no nose on the portrait as the dies were engraved so weakly and shallow. The first Sovereign of the reign was an excessively rare 1953 proof Sovereign as part of a set of record for Institutional collections only, consisting of a gold Five Pounds, Two Pounds, Sovereign and Half-Sovereign. One set was sold some decades ago by one of the Institutional owners, and has since been broken up into individual coins and sold. At least two extra single proof Sovereigns are in private hands, though one of these was stolen and presumably melted many years ago. If one should ever come up for sale it would be one of the most valuable modern British gold Sovereigns.

The 1974 Elizabeth II Sovereign
The First Sovereign Struck After Decimalisation
The second definitive coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II was created by Arnold Machin and appeared on the United Kingdom’s new decimal coinage in 1968.
The first Sovereign to feature the new coinage portrait was not struck until 1974, making it the first Sovereign of the decimal era, and a 1974 Sovereign was the very last coin to be struck at our facility in Tower Hill, London.
