The Pre-Owned 1992 Gold Sovereign Proof - 4 Coin Set is issued by The Royal Mint and showcases the iconic St. George and the Dragon reverse design, complemented by the third definitive UK coinage portrait of HM Queen Elizabeth II.
For the first time, a gold-plated medallion was included, featuring a crowned "Elizabeth R" above the date. The medallion included in the 1992 sets bears the image of a monkey on the reverse side, symbolising the Chinese lunar year of the monkey.
The coins in this gold proof 4-coin set are as follows:

The issue quantity was less than a quarter of the 1985 issue. The issue limit placed on the 1992 set was 1,250 and only 1,165 were issued.
There were 5,849 of the 1985 sets issued. In 1990, the four coin gold proof set packaging was redesigned and changed to a red leather box.
The sovereign was first struck as a coin of the realm in 1489 during the reign of Henry VII. It was a magnificent coin deliberately created to convey the majesty and dignity of the English Throne and was duly struck in turn by each of the Tudor monarchs. Shortly after his accession to the throne, however, James I brought the issue of the sovereign to an end and it did not appear for another 200 years until the coinage was reformed by George III in 1817.
A proof coin is a type of coin that is produced using a specific minting process that results in a highly polished surface and intricate design details. The coins are designed for collectors and investors who are interested in a high-quality product that showcases superior craftsmanship and minting quality.
Proof coins are typically produced in limited quantities and may feature unique packaging, certificates of authenticity, or other distinguishing characteristics that set them apart from standard coins. Due to their limited production and exceptional finish, proof coins generally command higher prices than regular coins of the same denomination and are highly prized by both collectors and investors.
The gold sovereigns in this set all feature the third definitive UK coin portrait of Elizabeth II by sculptor, Raphael Maklouf.
The only other four coin gold proof sets of the same type, with the St. George and Dragon design and the third portrait, were issued in 1985, 1990, 1992, and 1993.
