NGC Certification 5880663-005. The Proof coins of 1887 were struck for the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria and a total of only 797 proof sets were produced for sale to the public. The gold Five Pounds is the largest coin and carries the Jubilee portrait by Joseph Edgar Boehm which, proving to be later unpopular with the public and the Queen herself, forced a change to a new coinage design by Thomas Brock from 1893.
