The 2012 Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Full Sovereign was struck by The Royal Mint in 22 carat gold to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's accession to the throne. Departing from the traditional Benedetto Pistrucci design, the reverse features a distinctive interpretation of St George slaying the dragon, created by acclaimed British sculptor Paul Day. This special commemorative design was issued exclusively for the Diamond Jubilee year, making it a notable addition to the history of British Sovereign coinage.

The obverse displays Ian Rank-Broadley's fourth definitive portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, used on British coinage between 1998 and 2015. This example has been independently certified MS66 by NGC, recognising its excellent mint-state condition, sharply defined details and well-preserved original lustre. The combination of its distinctive commemorative reverse and high numerical grading adds to its appeal among collectors of modern British gold Sovereigns.

Combining royal heritage, historical significance and the enduring appeal of physical gold, the 2012 Diamond Jubilee Full Sovereign represents an attractive opportunity for collectors and investors alike. Its one-year-only Paul Day reverse design, celebration of Queen Elizabeth II's remarkable reign and NGC certification make it a distinguished addition to any collection of British gold coinage.

The obverse features Leonard Charles Wyon's celebrated Young Head portrait of Queen Victoria, a design admired for its elegant representation of the monarch during the Victorian era. This example has been independently certified AU55 by PCGS, recognising its attractive About Uncirculated condition, well-preserved design details and limited signs of circulation. The combination of the historic Shield Back design and independent certification adds to its appeal among collectors of Victorian gold coinage.

Combining nineteenth-century British imperial history with the enduring appeal of physical gold, the 1886-S Victoria Shield Back Full Sovereign represents a distinguished opportunity for collectors and investors alike. Its Sydney Mint heritage, iconic Young Head portrait, traditional heraldic reverse and PCGS certification make it a desirable addition to any collection of historic British and Australian gold Sovereigns.
