Jody Clark - Royal Mint Engraver

The fifth definitive UK coinage portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark was unveiled in March, 2015.

Whilst the portrait was used on the fifth portrait 2015 proof sovereigns, it was not used on the bullion sovereign until 2016. This coin is struck in 22 carat gold. Whilst, the uncirculated sovereign is sold as a gold bullion investment coin, the sovereign is a favourite with coin collectors and for special events such as birthdays, anniversaries and graduations.
