Momentous duo
An exclusive pairing of two momentous 22-carat gold coins, this remarkable set comprises a historic 1872 ‘M’ shield sovereign and a stunning Australia Sovereign 2022 Gold Proof Coin from The Perth Mint. With an issue limit of just 20, it’s a rare opportunity for any avid collector.
Anniversary celebrations
Produced at the Melbourne Mint in its opening year, the 150-year-old sovereign features Jean Baptiste Merlen’s crowned shield of the Royal Arms and an ‘M’ mintmark. The coin’s obverse captures a youthful Queen Victoria as portrayed in William Wyon’s famous ‘Young Head’. Presented in Very Fine to Extremely Fine condition, the scarce coin is extremely collectable.

The Perth Mint’s Australia Sovereign features a design inspired by Leonard Charles Wyon’s 1855 reverse for the Sydney Mint’s first sovereigns. The design is embellished with a special platinum-plated representation of St Edward's Crown and a small '70' numeric privy mark in celebration of H.M. Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee. With a mintage of 1,000, the flawless coin’s obverse portrays Jody Clark’s effigy of the Queen.
Timber display case
Accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity, the set is housed in a timber display case.
