The reverse designed by Leslie Durbin, portrays a cypher in the form of a letter "E" for Elizabeth in duplicate and interlaced, flanked by a rose and thistle.
The obverse design is a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with the denomination "five pounds" designed by Raphael Maklouf.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
Why is a Certified coin a better investment?
PCGS & NGC are the main two impartial Numismatic Grading Services in the world and is a guarantee that the coin is genuine and has been graded accurately and professionally.
The sonically sealed solid plastic slabb is individually numbered so that the details of the coin(s) can be verified on a central database, and is also tamperproof.
In addition, the coin is protected from handling and keeps the coin(s) condition and finish long term if looked after which can be detrimental to the value once sold.
