Each coin is supplied in a Royal Mint presentation box along with a numbered certificate of authenticity, a document used for authentication.

Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) coins are newly minted coins that have never been in circulation. They are considered to be in better condition than typical 'normal' bullion coins but not as great as proof condition coins.
Collectors can expect to pay higher premiums for these coins from dealers due to their higher condition compared to bullion coins, but the premiums will be lower than those of proof condition coins.
Unsure of the mintage of your Quintuple Sovereigns? Our Quintuple Sovereign summary table on our blog page details all mintages from 1820 to 2022.
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.
In 1980 the Royal Mint started issuing gold £5 coins once again, although some dates were issued only as part of a 4 coin gold proof set, others were issued as proofs, some as uncirculated versions.
The obverse features the fourth definitive UK coin portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank Broadley.
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.
