NGC PF-69 Grade

NGC PF-69 is a high-grade designation in the Sheldon Grading System, indicating a Proof coin with nearly flawless strikes and an impeccable surface. It is a highly coveted grade that denotes exceptional quality and is considered an excellent investment choice for collectors and investors alike.

What Is Ultra Cameo?

The term Ultra Cameo is used to describe the highest level of contrast between the raised and flat surfaces of a coin, which is commonly seen on proof coins. This creates a remarkable three-dimensional effect, featuring a highly reflective, mirror-like background and frosted, deeply struck images, resulting in an eye-catching design.

Obverse

The obverse design of the 1979 Sovereign showcases the right-facing portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, created by Arnold Machin. The inscription reads as:

"ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA REGINA F.D.," which translates to "Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith."

Reverse

The reverse design of the 1979 Sovereign showcases Benedetto Pistrucci's depiction of Saint George slaying the dragon, with the date inscribed at the bottom centre of the coin.
