Brilliant Uncirculated Gold £5 – 2009
Description This Brilliant Uncirculated Gold £5, also known as the Quintuple Sovereign, is dated 2009. Brilliant Uncirculated or ‘BU’ coin is one that has never been in circulation. In 1817 as part of a reform of coinage, the modern sovereign was introduced, with Benedetto Pistrucci’s classic portrayal of St. George slaying the dragon. The initials ‘BP’ can be found on the base under the hoof of the horse. The obverse of the coin features Ian Rank Broadley’s portrait of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The 2009 £5 coin comes in a plastic capsule along with original Royal Mint boxes and certificate of authenticity. This coin was limited to 1000 issues.
