Lot 2565
Great Britain. Proof 5 Pounds, 1826. S.3797; Fr-373; KM-702. George IV. The largest gold coin of George IV, the Five Pounds was only struck in 1826, and then most of the small number of pieces were made for inclusion in the 11-coin Proof set of that year. With a handsome obverse bust of the King facing left and a reverse design of crowned shield and mantle, this is on of England's most attractive and rare 19th-century gold coins. Exceptionally pretty for a "62," and in fact above average. Very small mintage, exact figure unknown, but probably fewer than 200 exist, not many much nicer than this coin. NGC graded Proof 62.
Estimated Value $14,000 - 17,000.
