The Initals 'PL' stand for Proof Like, meaning that both the fields are mirrored and that devices may be frosted on both sides.

Gold Quintuple Sovereigns

The first gold quintuple sovereign (£5 coin) was issued in 1820 and is considered by some to be a pattern coin. In 1826 and 1839, proofs were issued as part of complete proof coin sets, and this also occurred in 1902, 1911, and 1937.

Only in 1887, 1893, and 1902 were ordinary circulation types issued in addition to proof versions.

Obverse

The obverse shows a portrait of Queen Victoria by sculptor J E Boehm.

VICTORIA D:G: BRITT:REG:F:D:

Reverse

The classic St. George and the Dragon design by Benedetto Pistrucci appears on the reverse.
