In 2002 to celebrate the Queens Golden Jubilee, the Royal Mint released a very Limited Issue Brilliant Uncirculated Golden Jubilee Shield £5 Five Pound Sovereign Gold Coin struck in solid 22 Carat Gold Certified Slabbed and Graded by PCGS as MS70.

In celebration of the Queen's Golden Jubilee, the Royal Mint is paying its own special tribute, a tribute that for numismatics, in particular, will recall Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee of 1887.

In that year the Crowned Shield of the Royal Arms, which had featured so prominently on Victoria's beautiful Young Head Sovereigns, was dropped in favour of Pistrucci's St George and The Dragon.

Now, in 2002 and for one year only, in a pleasing reversal of what happened in that previous Golden Jubilee Year, the Royal Arms are being restored in place of Pistrucci's St George. Re-drawn by Timothy Noad, a herald painter at the College of Arms, the design will grace all four coins of the Sovereign family including the £5 Five Pound Crown.
