The reverse showcases Benedetto Pistrucci's timeless engraving of Saint George mounted on horseback, slaying the dragon, a motif that has graced British Sovereigns for more than two centuries. The year (2026) and the artist's name - 'PISTRUCCI' - are shown below.
These 2026 Five Pound coins feature Martin Jennings' uncrowned effigy of King Charles III on their obverse, introduced in 2022. The surrounding legend reads 'CHARLES III · DEI · GRA · REX · FID · DEF ·'.
Unlike proof issues, this 2026 Quintuple Sovereign features a distinctive matt brilliant uncirculated finish. This gold £5 is the first in decades to be struck in 39.94 grams 22-carat yellow gold, restoring the classic colour of historic Sovereigns.
With only 350 coins authorised for release worldwide, this 2026 BU gold £5 has one of the lowest mintages of any modern Five Sovereign release. This scarcity makes it an important addition for dedicated collectors.
This highly collectable pre-owned Five Sovereign is supplied in the original glossy wood Royal Mint presentation case, complete with a detailed information booklet and an individually numbered certificate of authenticity.
