The 5 Pound English Gold Sovereign, also known as the quintuple sovereign, is the largest denomination in the storied Sovereign series, first reintroduced in 1817 under George III. With a heftier presence than its 1-pound sibling, this coin amplifies Pistrucci’s masterful reverse design—St. George on horseback vanquishing the dragon—while the obverse bears the effigy of the monarch of its era, from Queen Victoria to King Charles III in recent years. NGC certification adds a layer of trust, making this a standout piece with both numismatic allure and substantial gold content.
Condition: Encased in an NGC protective slab, this coin reflects its graded status with preserved luster and sharp details, from the monarch’s portrait to the dragon’s scales. Specific grade and condition details are as certified by NGC, ensuring a high-quality example of this classic coin.
