This NCLT Fine Silver (.999) NCLT coin was released as part of the 1999 Masterpieces in Silver "Pre Decimal Circulation Coins" set which contained five other re-makes of pre-decimal coins of various types. Each of the coins in the set featured the dates of rare original coins in each of the denominations.The reverse of this stunning coin is a replica of the original rare 1920 "S" Mintmarked Gold Sovereign of which only 360,000 were made at the San Fransisco Mint. However the obverse has the 1998 Ian Rank-Broadley fourth Portrait of Queen Elizabeth the Second, unlike the original coin which had a Bust of King George V facing left.
