The 2001 Gold Proof SovereignBendetto Pistrucci’s portrayal of St. George slaying the dragon is depicted on the reverse of the coin.
Queen Elizabeth II’s fourth portrait is on the obverse, designed by Ian Rank-Broadley.
The 2001 gold proof sovereign was orignally housed in a Royal Mint acrylic screw top capsule, presented in its Royal Mint velvet case with outer black card box, accompanied with an individually numbered certificate of authenticity.
