2007-W Jamestown 400th Anniversary Commemorative Gold $5 Proof
Product Description
This $5 gold proof coin commemorates the 400th Anniversary of Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in North America. The obverse depicts an image of Captain John Smith greeting an American Indian who is carrying a bag of corn. The reverse features a current rendering of Jamestown Memorial Church, the only remaining original structure in Jamestown.
Unlike the Gold Eagle series, Gold commemoratives are minted using the old US measures for gold content in coins. For example the $5 Gold Eagle contains 1/10 Troy oz of gold in a 22 karat alloy (0.9167 fineness). This coin contains 0.242 troy oz of gold in a 0.900 fineness.
Coin comes in acrylic holder, and in original mint packaging with Certificate of Authenticity.
