Victoria. Obverse Boehm's 'Jubilee head'portrait of Queen left,
reverse has Pistrucci's classic St George and dragon. Beautifully
struck with prooflike surfaces, this mint state specimen has all
the eye appeal of a proof striking. Made in 1887 to celebrate the
50th year of the Queen's reign, the 1887 Five Pound coin is
becoming almost impossible to find in top grades.
