Great Britain
George V gold Proof 5 Pounds 1911 PR65 PCGS, KM822, S-3994. Of a quality far removed from the norm, this superlative gem astounds the viewer with its pristine, die-polished fields, glossy surface reflectivity and razor-sharp portrait. 2,812 pieces of this large size denomination were produced for inclusion in George V's coronation Proof set, with no business strikes being produced (the final currency 5 Pounds having been struck in 1902 under Edward VII); accordingly, the 5 Pounds collector can only hope to obtain an example in Proof. The present offering represents likely one of the finest available, and worthy of strong bidding thus.
