Story

Pre-war sovereign

Sure to bring prestige to any collection, the 1913 gold sovereign is highly sought after for its status as the last gold sovereign struck in Australia before World War I was declared.

With its untold impact on Australian communities and the economy, the war forced sovereigns out of circulation.

Subjected to the rigours of day-to-day use, 1913 sovereigns are difficult to find in better grade, making this superb 'about uncirculated' to 'uncirculated' condition Perth Mint George V sovereign a rare find.
