Personally, I think that the 'Una and the Lion' reverse on the 1839 proof 5 pounds UK gold has to be the most beautiful thing out there. Problem is, the last one I saw for sale was $25,000 in PF65. Gibraltar made a limited run under the UK in 1989 to produce this reverse, and I've been looking all over for it. The one I found and purchased is the 2 Sovereign size, weighing nearly 1/2 oz. of 22k gold. The fact that it is graded as PF70 by NGC doesn't hurt either! 
Man, what a design for a coin! If only the UK still had this as an active design, it would certainly give the breathtaking Britannia (circa' 2000 and before) a run for its money! Just had to share the good news folks.
thanks!
