The Royal Mint issued the 2021 Elizabeth II 95th Birthday £5 Gold Proof to mark Queen Elizabeth II’s 95th birthday. It is a precious-metal commemorative coin, not a £5 coin intended for everyday spending.
The reverse design by Timothy Noad uses the royal cypher with a crown and national flowers. The obverse carries the Queen’s portrait used on the issue.
Gold Proof specifications
The coin is struck in fine gold and finished to Proof standard. The Royal Mint offered several gold formats and limited editions, so confirm whether an example is the £5 issue before comparing its weight, mintage or price with another product.
How to assess value
Gold content is one part of the description, not a guaranteed resale price. Condition, authenticity, packaging, certificates and the gold market can all affect a sale. Compare recent completed sales for the same £5 version and do not rely on old issue prices or seller estimates.
Investment claims
This coin should not be presented as a guaranteed investment. A limited edition can still sell for less than its original price, and collector demand may change.
