The 1994 Gold Proof Five Pound Sovereign is one of the key large-format proof sovereigns of the mid-1990s. Struck in 22 carat gold and graded PF70 Ultra Cameo by NGC, this example represents the highest possible grading standard, confirming a flawless proof with exceptional contrast and pristine mirrored fields.
The Five Pound Sovereign, often referred to as the £5 Sovereign or Quintuple Sovereign, contains five times the gold content of the standard sovereign. At nearly 40 grams in weight, it showcases Pistrucci’s iconic St George and the Dragon design on a bold, highly detailed canvas that particularly suits proof striking.
PF70 Ultra Cameo examples from the Maklouf portrait era are increasingly sought after by collectors assembling high-grade modern sovereign sets.

Design Detail
The reverse features Benedetto Pistrucci’s St George and the Dragon, a design first introduced on the sovereign in 1817 and widely regarded as one of the most enduring motifs in British coinage. On the larger Five Pound format, the sculptural detail and frosted relief are especially impressive in PF70 Ultra Cameo condition.
The obverse carries the Raphael Maklouf portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, used between 1985 and 1997. This portrait period is increasingly popular among collectors building complete Elizabeth II proof sovereign runs.
Collectability and Investment Appeal
Five Pound Sovereigns combine significant intrinsic gold value with strong numismatic appeal. In PF70 Ultra Cameo grade, examples represent the very finest survivors from the original proof mintage and typically form centrepiece coins within modern sovereign collections.
The 1994 Gold Proof Five Pound Sovereign PF70 offers both gold security and top-tier graded collectability.
