| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse celebrates the centenary of Queen Victoria's death in 1901, featuring a stylised representation of the Crystal Palace, originally constructed for the Great Exhibition of 1851. A portrait of Queen Victoria is incorporated within a V-shaped motif formed by stylised railway lines, alluding to the Victorian era's railway expansion. Remnants of the inscription ONE PENNY and the commemorative dates 1901 and 2001 appear within the design, alongside the denomination FIVE POUNDS. The composition, designed by Mary Milner-Dickens, combines Victorian iconography with a bold, modern artistic treatment. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to mark the centenary of Queen Victoria's death in January 1901, this proof was part of the Royal Mint's broader commemorative program timed to the hundred-year anniversary. The 2001 date is deliberate — Victoria died on the 22nd of January, giving the Mint a clean centennial hook that justified premium gold production.
The Spink reference Sp#L9 places it firmly within the Five Pound proof crown series, a lineage stretching back through the twentieth century in limited annual runs rarely exceeding a few thousand pieces.
