Description
The British 5 Sovereign Gold Coin, also known as the Quintuple Sovereign or £5 piece, is an impressive and larger coin that contains 36.609 grams of 22-carat gold, which is equivalent to 1.1775 troy ounces of pure gold. These coins often feature the reigning monarch of the time they were struck on the obverse and the classic St. George and the Dragon design by Benedetto Pistrucci on the reverse, a motif that has been associated with British sovereigns since 1817. Proof versions of the coin are struck with special dies to achieve a high-quality finish with a sharp, detailed image and mirror-like background, making them attractive to collectors. The "random date" description indicates that the specific year of the coin you receive will vary based on availability, and in a Box indicates that the coin comes with its original packaging which often includes a protective case and a certificate of authenticity.
