1984 gold Sovereigns were issued only in Proof form - 12,880 were issued for this year. This coin features the second 'Decimal' portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Arnold Machin. This proof has been struck using specially selected blanks and highly polished dies. During striking, the coinage dies exert enormous pressure on the coin blank, with at least two separate blows (or strikes), ensuring that the impression has extra clarity.
