1899 Queen Victoria Veil Head MS62

Australian history

Some businesses and banks were unconvinced of the merit of The Perth Mint's existence when it first began to produce gold sovereigns in 1899, preferring to send raw gold to the east coast or to London for processing. As such, the Mint could only produce 691,000 sovereigns that year.

With a vast majority lost, withdrawn from circulation or melted for their intrinsic value in the 120 plus years since issue, the 1899 Perth Mint Gold Sovereign is rarely seen in premium quality such as this. The chance to own The Perth Mint's lowest mintage circulated sovereign in such breathtaking quality is not to be missed.
