This Five Pound Gold Proof coin, issued in 2012, celebrates 50 years of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II 1952 - 2012. The Royal Mint set a maximum mintage of 3,850.
This Gold Five Pound coin contains well over one ounce of Gold (36.61 grams of fine Gold).
A young Queen Elizabeth appears on the obverse, wearing a laureate crown and a bow in her hair. The text reads "DIR IGE GRESSVS MEOS" - May God guide my steps.
On the back is the Queen as she was in 2012, in a similar portrait to Ian Rank-Broadley's that was used on coins between 1998 and 2014. As with Rank-Broadley's portrait, Elizabeth is wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara – a wedding gift from her grandmother Queen Mary in 1947. This tiara also appeared on the Decimal Head coins between 1974 and 1984.
This proof coin is presented in a very luxurious and attractive box-set, with a numbered certificate of Authenticity issued by the Royal Mint.
