George V gold Proof 5 Pounds 1911 PR64 PCGS, KM822, S-3994, WR-414. From a Proof-only mintage of 2,812 pieces, this is the sole 5 Pound piece produced during the reign of George V. The fields appear blemish-free and entirely as-struck, prominent vertical die-polish lines present but not distracting from the underlying flash and reflectivity; the devices show a comparatively subdued gleam, the portrait of George in particular appearing matte in comparison to the bright mirrors behind. A pristine and especially highly-certified example and a gorgeous lemon-gold in color, this offering is sure to appeal to the higher-tier collectors of 5 Pound pieces.
