Superb Gem Jubilee 5 Pounds

Victoria gold Proof 5 Pounds 1887 PR65+ Deep Cameo PCGS, KM769, S-3864, W&R-285. Mintage: 797. Variety with B.P. initials on reverse. The largest denomination of Victoria's 1887 'Golden Jubilee' Proof set, this admirable 5 Pounds presents an overall fineness of execution that is exceptional even for a tailor-made Proof coin, the mirrored fields reservoirs of glassy golden flash omitting all but the most inconsequential wisps. Revealing even die polish lines on the reverse under close examination, a surprisingly rare feature for the issue, such an example certainly ranks amongst the finest attainable, with the last we have offered (certified PR65 Ultra Cameo by NGC) achieving a remarkable $66,000 in our January New York auction #3081.

Metal: Gold
Diameter: 36mm
