George 1V *1826* Five Pounds - Gold Plated Coin

 George 1V 1826 Five pounds Coin. GOLD PLATED.


The 1826 Five Pound Proof Coin was the highest denomination of coinage in its time in the reign of George 1V.

This coin was not for general circulation and was not issued as such. It’s beautiful intricate design was fit for a King especially a King who was very cultured, extravagant and held in high regard for his luxurious living.

George 1V became know as the “First English Gentlemen”

He was very influential in Architecture, jewellery, fashion & furniture, therefore he helped to create the “Regency Era”


and was not issued for general circulation. Its impressive design and intricate detail were extremely fitting for a King, especially one with the reputation of living extravagantly and luxuriously. Cultured and charming, George IV earned the title of “the first gentleman of England”. Preferring his flamboyant lifestyle, he was notably lacking in leadership during times of crisis and further angered the public with wasteful spending. As a result of this, however, George IV had great influence in the fashion of the time; with furniture, jewellery and architecture helping to create what is known as the ‘Regency Era’.

This coin is for historical & fun purposes. Make a great gift idea. It’s NOT GOLD.
