2019 Great Britain Gold Double Sovereign Proof (Piedfort)
The 2019 Gold Double Sovereign Proof represents a remarkable numismatic tradition, struck in the distinct Piedfort style. Originating from the French word for "heavy weight," a Piedfort coin is struck on a planchet that is twice as thick as a standard issue, giving it an impressive depth and a satisfying weight in the hand. This particular specimen contains 0.4708 troy ounces of gold, minted at a purity of 22 karat (or 0.9167 fine gold). On the obverse, the coin displays the modern effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, accompanied by her royal titles. The reverse features one of the most celebrated designs in numismatic history: the dynamic depiction of Saint George on horseback slaying the dragon, originally created by the artist Benedetto Pistrucci. Struck by the Royal Mint to a pristine proof finish, this double-thickness coin had a highly restricted release, with a total mintage of just 1,795 pieces.
