1999 £5 gold Diana Crown

[Aldebaran]

Is the 1999 £5 Diana memorial coin a quintuple sovereign?

Also, are the gold £2 coins, (eg Marconi, the one like a football etc) double sovereigns or just a gold variant of a standard coin? 🖖

The Diana coins is typically regarded more as gold crown, but does sell for a premium in top grade and is quite sought after.

The others you mention are typically seen as gold £2 and not really part of the sovereign series.

No, not a quintuple sovereign. They are 5 Pound Sterling gold coins with a slightly bigger diameter than quintuple sovereigns.

The 2 Pound Sterling gold coins you mentioned were issued also as part of the Sovereign proof sets on their years.
