Victoria gold 5 Pounds 1893 MS62 NGC, KM787, S-3872. From a mintage of just 20,000 pieces, this is the penultimate currency 5 Pound piece to ever be produced, and a highly collectible one-year type. Despite its being a business strike, its luster is far more reflective and prooflike than 'cartwheel', a usual attribute of this type; its details are boldly rendered and exhibit scarce evidence of circulation, small bagmarks the sole detriment to its otherwise immaculate surfaces. Difficult to obtain in Mint State, an appealing selection of large-denomination gold.
