What Is a 5p Proof Coin?
A 5p-proof coin is a specially minted coin treated with extra polishing and handling.
Each five-pence coin is struck several times, increasing the design's detail and sharpness. The proof coin is also hand-finished and cleaned to ensure it’s blemish-free and pristine.
A proof coin undergoes special treatment and polishing on both sides of the coin to give them a smooth and mirror-like finish.
Proof coins also arrive packaged in protective capsules or presentation cases, usually with a certificate of authenticity.
