Why This Coin Is Special
The Quintuple Sovereign, also known as the £5 Gold Coin, represents the largest denomination in the modern sovereign family.
Containing five times the gold of a standard sovereign, it has long been regarded as the flagship of the sovereign series and is produced in significantly smaller numbers than its lower denominations.
Proof versions are struck using specially prepared dies and carefully polished blanks, resulting in deeply mirrored fields and beautifully frosted design elements that highlight every detail of the artwork.
The 1980 issue remains highly sought after by collectors of modern sovereigns thanks to its superb presentation and timeless design.
