Buy this 2016 Gold Brilliant Uncirculated £5 also known as a quintuple sovereign or a five pound piece.
This Quintuple Sovereign comes in a presentation box with a certificate of authenticity.
Way back in 1902, five pound gold coins were issued for circulation, but even then, they were probably mainly hoarded as curiosities and keepsakes as the modern cupro-nickel £5 crowns are nowadays.
This coin was issued by The Royal Mint in 2000 and is struck as a bullion coin. The Royal Mint did not go on to produce bullion gold £5 for later years so this coin is a one of a kind. This pound sterling coin is British legal tender, so is exempt from capital gains tax.
Sovereigns can be issued in a number of different sizes and finishes. The £5 quintuple sovereign is the largest size that is issued.
The obverse features the fifth definitive UK coin portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Jody Clark, his initials JC are below the truncation.
The reverse shows Benedetto Pistrucci's design of St George and the Dragon as seen on the bullion sovereigns coins issued in the same year.
