Graded PF 70 Ultra Cameo this 2020 Three Graces Ten Ounce Silver Proof coin has been designated as a First Release by NGC.
The Great Engravers
This 10 Oz Silver Proof coin is part of The Royal Mint's sought-after The Great Engravers series. Launched in 2019, The Great Engravers collection celebrates the greatest artists to have worked on British coinage with reissues of their most memorable works. New designs are released annually.
The inaugural issue in The Great Engravers series featured William Wyon's Una and the Lion. The second coin in the series is also the work of the Royal Mint Chief Engraver: a reissue of an extraordinary 1817 pattern crown that never circulated.
The Three Graces
The design shows three female figures, representing Ireland, England and Scotland while also evoking the Three Charities of ancient mythology. Wyon was inspired by the Neoclassical trend in decorative arts, garbing his graces in classical dress. It's a much-admired piece and The Great Engravers reissue is an unmissable chance to own this gorgeous piece.
Wyon's iconic reverse is paired with Jody Clark's portrait of Elizabeth II. The obverse legend flags the face value of this Silver Proof coin which is £10.
Ten Ounce Silver Proof
Your 2020 Three Graces Silver Proof 10 Ounce PF 70 UC First Release is crafted from 312.69 grams of .999 Fine Silver and has a diameter of 65.00 millimetres. As legal tender this silver coin is Capital Gains Tax exempt.
This Three Graces coin has been struck to Proof standard. That means that it has been struck up to six times using hand-finished dies, reproduced from Wyon's originals. Each coin is then carefully inspected for imperfections. It's a labour intensive process but produces a truly remarkable finish. There's no better way to enjoy the beauty of the Three Graces.
PF 70 Ultra Cameo
These Silver Proof Ten Ounce coins have been independently graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation as PF 70 Ultra Cameo.
‘PF 70' refers to a Proof coin that has no post-production imperfections at 5x magnification. ‘Ultra Cameo' is a designation only applied to Proof coins and indicates that the fields are deeply mirrored and the devices heavily frosted, creating a strong and attractive contrast.
All this means that your 2020 Three Graces Silver Proof 10 Ounce PF 70 First Release has been formally recognised as a flawless and appealing collectors piece.
NGC First Releases
This Ten Ounce silver coin has also been given an additional designation by NGC. The ‘First Releases' designation identifies a coin that has been passed to NGC or an approved depository within 30 days of its release.

Steeped in more than 1,100 years of history, The Royal Mint supplies all of the United Kingdom's coinage as well as currency for nations around the world. Renown for craftsmanship and thoughtful design, The Royal Mint also produces commemorative coins, favoured by investors and collectors.
A Millennia of Minting
Founded in the reign of Alfred the Great, around the year 886, The Royal Mint was originally one of several mints which were centralised to London in 1279. For more than 800 years the Mint was based at the Tower of London before moving to Royal Mint Court where it remained until the 1960s.
The Royal Mint has always been on the forefront of economic, technical and artistic innovation. Its skilled craftsmen minted coins that would reach the far corners of the British Empire, establishing the image and reputation of Britain for all whose pockets they ended up in.
In 2010 The Royal Mint became a limited company owned by Her Majesty’s Treasury. In recent years the Mint has struck medals for the 2012 London Olympic Games and opened a visitor centre, The Royal Mint Experience, in Llantrisant, Wales: the current home of The Royal Mint.
Collecting and Investing
The Royal Mint's commemorative and bullion coins – often minted to mark important national events and anniversaries – are not intended for circulation. They might look like ordinary coins but they are generally worth much more, thanks to their scarcity, finish and composition.
Most commemorative coins produced by The Royal Mint are available in a range of striking standards including Gold Proof, Silver Proof, Brilliant Uncirculated and Bullion. Some are also available in collectors sets. Gold and Silver Proof coins are minted in small numbers, making them rare and desirable.
The Royal Mint's commemorative coins are both VAT-free and Capital Gains Tax (CGT) exempt, making them an attractive and valuable investment. Whether you are diversifying your investments or simply appreciate world-class design, commemorative coins from The Royal Mint are a great buy.
