1893 Great Britain | Quintuple Sovereign | NGC MS 62

This stunning 1893 Great Britain Gold Quintuple Sovereign is a remarkable example of numismatic history. This is the final year of issue of the coveted "Veiled Head" design on the Quintuple Sovereign and it has been certified by NGC in Mint State 62.  The coin is absolutely stunning when held in hand and a coveted treasure for collectors of British and world gold coinage.

The obverse features the iconic "Veiled Head" portrait of Queen Victoria, designed by Thomas Brock. This design commemorates her later years as Britain’s beloved monarch, wearing a diadem crown and mourning veil. The reverse showcases Benedetto Pistrucci's timeless depiction of St. George slaying the dragon, surrounded by the date "1893," an enduring symbol of courage and triumph. This is a very rare denomination that was issued for circulation for three years only: 1887, 1893 and 1902.

Composed of 22-karat gold and weighing an impressive 39.94 grams (over 1.1 oz of pure gold), this coin represents the largest denomination in the British gold sovereign series. The "5 Sovereign" gold coin is prized not only for its gold content but also for its artistry, historical importance, and low population in uncirculated grades like this MS 62.

Whether you're a seasoned collector or a first-time buyer, this 1893 5 Sovereign is a spectacular investment and a tangible piece of British history. Don’t miss the chance to add this magnificent coin to your collection—contact Austin Rare Coins & Bullion today!
