The Queen celebrated her Diamond Jubilee in 2012. To commemorate this special occasion, a new St George and the Dragon reverse engraving by Paul Day was comissioned.
The 2012 sovereign is popular with collectors interested in 'type' sovereigns.
Previous one-off designs issued during Elizabeth II's reign include the 1989 500th Anniversary Sovereign, the 2002 Shield Reverse Sovereign issued to celebrate the Queens Golden Jubilee, the 2005 Sovereign featuring a stylised version of the traditional St George & Dragon design, the 2016 proof sovereign bearing the Queen's 90th birthday portrait and the 2017 sovereigns - both proof and uncirculated - issued to celebrate the 200th Anniversary of the Modern Sovereign.
These British legal tender pound sterling coins are exempt from capital gains tax and are classed as investment gold, meaning they are exempt from VAT.
The obverse features Ian Rank-Broadley's fourth definitive UK coin portrait of Elizabeth II.
The 2012 reverse by Paul Day features a new interpretation of St. George and the Dragon. The engraver's initials are below the horse's hoof on the right of the coin and the date, 2012, is set on the left of the coin.
