Any interest in the 2018 Mexican Libertad reverse proof?

 

Lovely coin indeed! However, the reverse photo you have posted is of the 1 onza not the 1/2 onza. 😁

Oh yeah, you're right.  Oh well, they look the same, the 1/2 and the 1 ounce.

By the way, I have one of the half ouncers up for sale, if anyone's looking for one.

Have found this an interesting topic, I wondered if the very expensive, but sometimes interesting Proof Sovereign Quintuples have any following- not that I have any or expect to!!

Some look very interesting (accepting that none here have a proof "Una & lion" sov) like Nelson or Victoria's 100th Anniversary; & some like the Queen Mothers memorial , errrr don't .  Any views?

 

I’ve started a small collection of quintuple sovereigns, rather than collecting standard proof sovs. Purchases are few and far between, thanks to taking the more expensive route. I have the 1989 and the 2017 special designs, plus a 2017 MS-DPL which I bought last year before I managed to acquire the proof coin. I expect my next purchase may be a Queen Victoria 1887 or 1893 quintuple, but I’ll have to see.

 I agree that the commemorative crowns look very interesting. If money was no object then I’d buy the 2002 Golden Jubilee crown showing the Queen on horseback, but I think I’ll stick to building on the above quintuples instead.

The Quintuple Sovereign is my first foray into the Pistrucci St George slaying a dragon design and I have both proof and BU issues. I like and prefer its big and hefty size compared to the other sovereign sizes. All my quintuple Sovereigns are the Pistrucci St George slaying a dragon design. I do not have any of the gold Crown-type Proof Commemoratives with 5 Pound face value.

I have the same expensive preference. The standard sovereign is about the same size as a modern British penny so the larger the coin the easier to enjoy its design. The quintuple has the wow factor. Unfortunately so does the cost 😱
