The 2007 Jamestown $5 Gold Coin was issued to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the settlement of Jamestown, Virginia. In the spring of 1607 three ships carried English settlers to the New World where they would establish the first permanent English settlement in what would become the United States.
The 400th anniversary of Jamestown had also been the subject of the Virginia State Quarter, released in 2000. The quarter also featured an image of the three ships that bought the settlers to Jamestown and carried the dual date of the anniversary.
