Victoria gold 5 Pounds 1887 MS64 PCGS, KM769, S-3864. Unusually high quality for this late Victorian business strike, with the large size and heft of this denomination often ensuring that it received at least a few bagmarks or scratches before being saved for a collector's cabinet. Accordingly, the present specimen has survived admirably well, its fields prooflike and almost completely free from notable evidence of handling. Victoria's jubilee portrait is simply outstanding, pristine and clearly more matte in contrast to the fields, every minor detail of the engraving sharply represented and gleaming. A piece which only increases in allure the longer it is examined, and a notably strong specimen for the type.
