Institutional Overview
The 1985 Great Britain Gold 5 Pounds coin is a remarkable piece of numismatic artistry, struck from .9999 fine gold and weighing 1.0000 troy oz (31.1035 g). This coin, issued by The Royal Mint, features a stunning obverse portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, crafted by designer Jody Clark, which is encircled by the inscription 'ELIZABETH II' and the year of issue. The reverse, designed by David Lawrence, depicts the Yale of Beaufort, a creature steeped in Tudor history, symbolizing strength and loyalty. As a sovereign coin, it carries a face value of £5 GBP, yet its intrinsic value is significantly higher due to its gold content and historical significance.
