2011 FIRST STRIKE GOLD SOVEREIGN PF 70 ULTRA CAMEO
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 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.
