GREAT BRITAIN. Gold 500 Pounds (5 Ounces), 2016. Llantrisant Mint. Elizabeth II. GEM PROOF.

The impressive artistry in the engraving done by Suzie Zamit and Jody Clark is on full display, with very little to be desired on this piece. With the original box of issue and certificate of authenticity numbering 37." This specimen was offered again as lot 33203 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2025), where it sold for $.
