NGC Graded 2021 QEII Gold Proof Sovereign 95 Privy PF70UCAM + FREE Silver Bar

95th Birthday Privy Mark

For much of its history the modern Sovereign has featured an iconic reverse design, crafted by Italian artist Benedetto Pistrucci. His instantly-recognisable Saint George and the Dragon design shows England's patron saint mounted on a horse, slaying a dragon underfoot.

In 2021 this design was given a subtle addition: a special crown privy mark next to the date to celebrate Her Majesty the Queen's 95th birthday. The UK's longest reigning monarch marked this record-breaking birthday on 21 April. The tiny privy mark appears to the left of the year, opposite Pistrucci's initials.

For the 2021 Sovereign, Pistrucci's historic reverse is paired with Jody Clark's portrait of our long lived monarch. Introduced to British coinage in 2015, this fifth official effigy shows the artists initials below the traction of Elizabeth II's neck with the legend reading: 'ELIZABETH II ∙ DEI ∙ GRA ∙ REGINA ∙FID ∙DEF'.
