1989 GOLD SOVEREIGN ( PROOF )

This 1989 Gold Sovereign in Proof condition commemorates a significant year in modern British coinage history. The piece features the distinctive proof finish with deeply mirrored fields contrasting against frosted design elements, showcasing Elizabeth II's portrait and the traditional St. George reverse with exceptional definition. The coin was struck to the highest standards of the Royal Mint's proof production. Please note: this sovereign displays scratching on the surface, a factor that distinguishes it from pristine proof examples and is reflected in its valuation. Nevertheless, it remains a notable modern issue for collectors interested in late 20th-century British gold sovereigns and proof coinage.
