You didn't give any information about the coin's date or condition, so the best I can do is point you to a website that lists values. See http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/prices/5gld/pricesgd.shtml, for example. Also, to improve searching I had to make a minor change to your question, as these coins are known to collectors as "capped bust" pieces rather than "capped heads".
