A true numismatic masterpiece, the 1937 Great Britain George VI 5 Pound Sovereign Proof Gold Coin NGC PF 61 stands as one of the most prestigious and desirable British gold coins of the 20th century.

Following the dramatic abdication of Edward VIII in 1936, the 1937 coronation proof set was created to restore confidence in the monarchy.
