A royal legacy

Queen Elizabeth II was born on 21 April 1926 and ascended the throne in 1952 at the age of 25, following the death of her father, King George VI. In 2026, the world commemorates what would have been her 100th birthday - celebrating a life of service, dignity and devotion to her country and the Commonwealth. 

A breathtaking tribute to the life and reign of Elizabeth II, this set comprises two 22-carat gold sovereigns. Included is a rare Perth Mint historic sovereign struck in 1926, the year of H.M. Queen Elizabeth II's birth. Highly sought after and scarce in any condition, this King George V sovereign is valued for both its rarity and strong preservation.

Sovereign design re-imagined

Accompanying the scarce 1926P sovereign is The Perth Mint’s Australia Sovereign 2026 Gold Proof Coin. The modern collectable re-imagines the famous St George and the Dragon design. The new work portrays a naked warrior on horseback brandishing a sword above a dragon. The image appears within a decorative circle of raised dots, together with the inscription ‘AUSTRALIA’, ‘2026’ and The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark. The design also features a privy mark with the number ‘100’, commemorating what would have been the 100th birthday of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
