The 1902 Gold 5 Pound Proof - Edward VIIThe 1902 King Edward VII Gold Proof £5 was issued in the Coronation year of King. The 1902 Gold Proof £5 Coin weighs 39.94g (equivalent to 5 sovereigns). It is made from 22 carat (91.67%) gold. SCBC: 3965.
A Matt Proof Five Pound Coin was also minted in 1902, plus a very rare Sydney Mint (Australia) version.
Edward VII reigned 1901-10 and for his Coronation in 1902 the Royal Mint issued an 11-coin (the short set) and a 13-coin set (the long set). The 11-coin set was the current silver circulation coins plus Maundy, sovereign and half-sovereign. The 13-coin set added the £2 and £5. All the gold coins were struck with a matt proof finish which was an experimental finish at the time.
The obverse shows the head of King Edward VII and the usual Latin inscription. Below the head are the initials of the designer 'De S', for G. W. De Saulles. The reverse is Benedetto Pistrucci’s George and the Dragon.
1902 was the only year when King Edward VII issued £5, £2 and Crowns.Image Credit: The Royal Mint.
