The Royal Mint issued the 2005 Nelson Gold Proof £5 Crown as a commemorative coin. It marks the bicentenary of the Battle of Trafalgar and features Horatio Nelson.
This is a gold Proof collectable, not an everyday circulating £5 coin. The face value is £5, while the resale value depends on the gold content, condition, authenticity, packaging and collector demand.
How to identify the coin
Check the 2005 date, the £5 denomination, the Proof finish and the original presentation materials. Do not compare it with the cupro-nickel or silver versions of the same commemorative theme.
What is it worth?
There is no fixed current price. Compare recent completed sales of the same gold version and grade. Royal Mint dealer listings and asking prices are not evidence of a completed sale.
