| Reverse description | The reverse commemorates the centenary of Queen Victoria's death, featuring a frosted effigy of a young, diademed Queen Victoria in left-facing profile at centre, her hair arranged in a classical style with ringlets. The portrait is set within a bold V-shaped design element, evoking both the Roman numeral five and Victoria's initial, overlaid on an architectural background depicting the arched ironwork of the Crystal Palace. The commemorative dates 1901 and 2001, separated by a small star, arc across the upper field, while the denomination 5 POUNDS is inscribed in the lower left, and the legend FIVE POUNDS runs across the centre field. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the centenary of Victoria's death in January 1901, this proof was part of the Royal Mint's broader commemorative program tied to the centennial year. The reverse frosted finish — achieved by repeated sandblasting of the die face between strikes — distinguishes it from the standard proof issue in the same series, and production numbers were tightly controlled even by gold proof standards.
