2020 FIVE SOVEREIGN GOLD PROOF COIN
In 1818, new crown coins of 5 shillings were minted in the fifty-eighth year of King George III’s reign, the first such coins ever issued since he became King in 1760.
The reverse designs seen on these large silver coins included the classic and iconic numismatic masterpiece of Benedetto Pistrucci’s “St George slaying the Dragon”. His exemplary creation was first included on British gold Sovereigns in 1817 which were issued as part of Great Britain’s revised coinage that fundamentally changed the everyday commerce of Britain the year before with the introduction of the Great Recoinage.
Issued as part of the 2020 King George III Sovereign collection featuring designs from some of the most fascinating coins from the reign of Britain’s longest-reigning King.
Struck to an exception ‘proof’ finish this 2020 Double Sovereign promises to be one of the most unique coins issued this year.
With ONLY 50 coins available in this presentation and JUST 150 coins minted in total,
the 2020 Five Sovereign is expected to be one of the rarest issued of all time.
