The post 2021 Gothic Crown Quartered Arms Silver Proof Five Pounds (£5) NGC Graded PF68UCAM appeared first on UK Gold Coins.

Mintage: 10000 (All proof)

Obverse: Crowned and draped young bust of Queen Elizabeth II facing right (effigy known as the “Second Portrait”, by Arnold Machin).

The Queen wears the “Girls of Great Britain and Ireland” diamond tiara, a wedding gift from Queen Mary (Her Majesty’s grandmother) in 1947 – which she also has on the Rank-Broadleyand the Gottwald portraits.

Around, the monarch’s legend: ELIZABETH · II · DEI · GRATIA · REGINA · F : D :. Translated from Latin: Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen, Defender of the Faith.

Reverse: The reverse depicts, within a beaded border, an illustration of the legend of St George as the slayer of the dragon.

St George is on horseback, advancing to right, wearing a helmet and chlamys (cape, or cloak) fastened in front by a fibula, and holding a sword. His left hand clutches the rein of the horse’s bridle, and he does not wear armour, other than on his lower legs and feet, with his toes bare. The saint’s horse appears to be half attacking, half shrinking from the dragon, which lies wounded by George’s spear and in the throes of death. The point of a spear is broken off in the dragon’s side; the shaft lays on the ground behind the horse.

In exergue, the date: 1980.

Below the exergue line at right are the artist’s initials B.P. (for Benedetto Pistrucci).

Rest assured all photographs are of the actual coin you will receive.
