2002 Great Britain Gold Sovereign Jubilee BU
In 2002, the Royal Mint departed from the traditional St. George and the Dragon design to mark a historic milestone. This brilliant uncirculated gold coin represents only the second time in history that a commemorative Gold Sovereign was struck, honoring the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. Instead of the classic equestrian motif, the reverse displays a special one-year design featuring the crowned royal arms enveloped by a wreath, with the year 2002 positioned at the bottom. The obverse carries the right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II created by Ian Rank-Broadley. Struck from 22-karat gold with a purity of 0.9167, this sovereign contains 0.2354 troy ounces of actual gold content. Cataloged as KM#1026, this issue remains a highly sought-after modern rarity due to its temporary design change and restricted production run.
