Coin Highlights:
In this listing, you’ll receive a 5 Pound British Gold Sovereign with a random year of issue from the Royal Mint. Please note that the coins in this listing come with the possibility of varied reverse designs and we cannot guarantee a specific design in advance. Gold coins in the sovereign collection are struck by the Royal Mint’s facility in Llantrisant, Wales.
The most common 5 Pound Gold Sovereign Coin design is the classic visual that has been in use since the introduction of circulation Sovereigns in 1817. These coins feature an effigy of Britain’s reigning monarch on the obverse with Benedetto Pistrucci’s depiction of St. George and the dragon on the reverse. However, The Royal Mint also offers a variety of proof, commemorative reverse designs including imagery honoring events such as the end of World War II, the London 2012 Olympics, or the reign of King Alfred the Great. Please bear in mind that any of these designs types are possible in this listing.
All 5 Pound British Gold Sovereign coins feature a number of similarities. Though not released into wider circulation like their One Pound, Half-Sterling, and Two Pound mates, these coins feature the same obverse and reverse design concepts of the circulating coins. The reigning monarch of the day is always featured on the coin’s obverse. Please note that the coins in this listing come with the possibility of varied reverse designs and we cannot guarantee a specific design in advance.
In the case of 5 Pound British Gold Sovereigns, only the image of Queen Elizabeth II has ever appeared on the obverse. She is captured in right-profile relief on the coins, with early offerings in the 5 Pound collection including the Maklouf third-generation portrait of the Queen. All coins struck after 1998 feature Ian Rank-Broadley’s fourth-generation depiction of the Queen.
The reverse of these 5 Pound Gold Sovereigns comes with the potential for various designs. The most common is the design by Benedetto Pistrucci of St. George and the dragon. The history of St. George and a depiction of him killing a dragon dates back as far as the 7th century, and he is often revered as a soldier saint. However, there is also the potential for various commemorative designs to feature on the reverse of these coins.
