| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing crowned effigy of Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley, depicting the Queen wearing the George IV State Diadem and draped in ceremonial robes with the Order of the Garter sash and badge visible at the truncation. The portrait is rendered in high relief with exceptional sculptural detail, characteristic of proof coinage. The circumferential legend reads ELIZABETH·II·D·G REG·F·D·FIVE POUNDS, arcing around the upper and right fields, separated by raised dots. A fine toothed border runs along the rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to mark sixty years of Elizabeth II's reign, this piece was struck in the same year the Queen became only the second British monarch in history to reach a Diamond Jubilee — the first being Victoria in 1897. The Royal Mint produced this in limited proof numbers alongside a broader commemorative program that included base-metal issues for circulation, but the gold proof was aimed squarely at the collector market rather than any monetary function.
The five-pound crown format has been the prestige vehicle for royal commemoratives since at least the Victorian period, making it the natural choice for an occasion of this magnitude.
