closed 2015 gold proof sovereign

Good year to have a proof sovereign. Only three times in history has a sovereign had two different heads on in the same year and 2015 is one of them.

(I have both heads for 2015, the 4th and 5th)

It is the first time since 1893 and only the third time overall that the gold Sovereign has featured two different bust designs in the same year. Both previous instances were during Queen Victoria's reign, first in 1887, followed by 1893.

Actually... 1937 was another such occasion, however one of them was never released to the public (but a few slipped through). Edward VIII (very rare) and George VI. Both of these faced left, even though every time they were supposed to change sides -- but Edward preferred his left side, was a bit of a narcissist. :)
