The reverse once again showcases Pistrucci’s masterful St George and the Dragon, providing continuity with the wider sovereign series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3691\" data-end=\"3902\"\u003eWith its commanding presence, high gold content and historical gravitas, the 1887 Five Sovereign remains a centrepiece coin for advanced collectors and a statement holding for those seeking premium British gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3904\" data-end=\"4228\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3904\" data-end=\"3919\"\u003eKey Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"3919\" data-end=\"3922\"\u003e.
