About this product

Please note: The coin you receive may be in BU condition or have a Proof finish.

The Gold 5 Pound Sovereign: Britain's Quintuple Sovereign

The gold 5 pound sovereign belongs to a coin family whose history reaches back more than five centuries. Struck by the Royal Mint in 22-karat (.9167 fine) gold, it contains 1.1775 troy ounces of actual gold weight (AGW), meaning the pure gold inside once the alloy is set aside. It carries a £5 face value and may come in BU condition or with a Proof finish, a specially struck, mirror-like surface.

Pistrucci's St. George and the Sovereign Legacy

The sovereign's history stretches back to 1489 under King Henry VII. After its revival in the 19th century, it became one of the world's most widely accepted trade coins. The £5 denomination, sometimes called the Quintuple Sovereign, was introduced mainly as a presentation piece. It typically features Benedetto Pistrucci's celebrated design of St. George slaying the dragon. Because the coin you receive may be BU or Proof, the finish can vary from one piece to the next.
