Lot description: 2022 Gilt-Platinum Pound. Queen Elizabeth II. Trial of the Pyx Test Piece. #2 of 7. Jessopp Facsimile Signature Label. Brilliant Proof (NGC). 21.56 g of .9995 Fine Platinum. 23.4mm. One of the most popular circulating coinage issues in Britain, the One Pound coin is charmingly represented here by a strike in platinum.
