1985 Whole Coin Set Sovereign - Four (4) Coins Gold Proof

The 1985 set was only the third 4 coin gold proof set issued for Elizabeth II. The sets of 1981, 1983, and 1984 did not contain all four gold coins.

1985 was the first year of issue with the Raphael Maklouf design. All coins feature the popular design of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Indeed the sovereign of this year and other years of the Maklouf design are so popular we often have difficulty keeping them in stock.

The four gold coins we refer to are, of course, the gold sovereign and half sovereign, along with the two pound coin, often called a double sovereign, and a five pound gold coin.

Obverse

In 1985, the portrait used on the obverse of our coinage changed from the second or decimal portrait, to a more mature third portrait which continued in use until 1997 inclusive.
The only other four coin gold proof sets of the same type, with the Saint George and Dragon design and the third portrait, were issued in 1990, 1991, 1992, and 1993.
