The Royal Mint's 2006 four-coin Sovereign sets contain the following gold proof coins:
Ian Rank-Broadley designed the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II that appears on the obverse of these gold coins. Used on UK currency between 1998 and 2015, the effigy is accompanied by this inscription: 'ELIZABETH · II · DEI · GRA REGINA · FID · DEF ·'.
Coins in the 2006 Sovereign range all feature the classic Saint George and the dragon reverse design, created by Italian artist Benedetto Pistrucci in the early 19th century. The date and the artist's initials are shown below.
Like all British Sovereigns, the proof coins in this set are struck in solid 22-carat gold. In total, these pieces weigh 67.89 grams and offer an actual gold weight of 62.23 grams or just over two troy ounces.
1,750 of these four-coin Sovereign sets were released by The Royal Mint in 2006. Finding a complete set in good condition can be challenging for those seeking to add this piece to their collection, as many sets have been broken down for grading.
This pre-owned 2006 set is available in its velvet-lined green leather presentation case from the Royal Mint. The original numbered certificate of authenticity is included along with the four encapsulated gold coins.
