The 2001 Gold Proof Quintuple Sovereign (also referred to as the £5 Sovereign or Five Sovereign Piece) is one of the most impressive and substantial coins in the modern sovereign series. Struck in 22-carat gold and containing nearly 40 grams of fine gold, it remains a cornerstone for both collectors and investors seeking the prestige of a large proof sovereign.
This coin is graded by NGC as PF70 Ultra Cameo, confirming a flawless proof strike with immaculate fields and perfect cameo frosting. Only a fraction of the mintage achieves this highest grade, making it significantly rarer than standard proofs.
The reverse features Benedetto Pistrucci’s timeless St George and the Dragon design, while the obverse carries the portrait of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by Ian Rank-Broadley.
As part of The Royal Mint’s proof sovereign issues, the 2001 Quintuple Sovereign combines sheer size, classic design, and the highest possible grade, ensuring it will remain a highlight of any collection.
