Description

2022 Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Piedfort 5oz Gold 500 Pounds. Coronation Obverse. First Platinum Jubilee Assayed. Queen Elizabeth II. Trial of the Pyx Test Piece. Jessopp Facsimile Signature Label. Brilliant Proof (NGC).

156.3 g (5oz) of .9999 Fine Gold. 50mm. A hulking and impressive 5 Ounce Gold eminence commemorating in handsome pure gold the Queen's seven decades as the head of the British monarchy. Harkening back to the coronation of Elizabeth II in 1953, this piece is rich in the symbolism that epitomized Elizabeth II, with an equestrienne portrait being immaculately rendered. With so many Britons cherishing the memory of Elizabeth II and her 70 Year reign, this gold commemorative has meaning far outstretching its already outsized numismatic importance.

From a Collection of Historic Test Pieces from the 2023 Trial of the Pyx, Presented on Behalf of The Royal Mint.
