Discover the Gold Proof Double Sovereign Queen Elizabeth II Third Head (1987), a prestigious British gold coin struck by The Royal Mint in 22-carat gold. This proof coin features the third portrait of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Raphael Maklouf on the obverse, a portrait used on British coinage from 1985 to 1997 and highly recognised among collectors of modern sovereign coins.
The reverse showcases the legendary St George and the Dragon design by Benedetto Pistrucci, one of the most iconic and enduring images in British numismatic history. Produced to proof quality, the coin features mirror-like fields and frosted design elements, highlighting the exceptional craftsmanship associated with Royal Mint proof issues.

Fit notes
- Warm hands measure slightly larger; measure at the end of the day.

- Knuckle vs. base: choose a size that passes the knuckle but fits snug at the base.
For eternity/comfort-fit bands, professional sizing is recommended.
