1986 Gold Five Pounds

£5 History

Way back in 1902, five pound gold coins were issued for circulation, but even then, they were probably mainly hoarded as curiosities and keepsakes as the modern cupro-nickel £5 crowns are nowadays.
You may wish to see our page of other gold £5 coins. In 1980 the Royal Mint started issuing gold £5 coins once again, although some dates were issued only as part of a 4 coin gold proof set, others were issued as proofs, some as uncirculated versions.
In 1986, the Royal Mint issued a three-coin gold proof set, which consisted of the two pounds, sovereign, and half sovereign.
So a proof version of the 1986 gold five pound coin exists, but only as part of, or split from, the 3-coin proof set, but in 1985, for the first time, the Mint issued a so called "Brilliant Uncirculated" version.

1986 Five Pounds - First "Brilliant Uncirculated"

In 1986, the £5 coin was issued in a "Brilliant Uncirculated" version, and there were no separate proof versions, only in the proof sets. We usually have one of these large and striking gold coins in stock.

"U" For Uncirculated

From the 1985 issue, the Mint started to place a letter "U" to the left of the date to denote Uncirculated versions of the five pound gold coins, as opposed to the proof versions, we do not know why they thought this was necessary.
