Half a decade of Australian history
Inextricably linked with Australia's golden heritage, and the turmoil of the First World War, the Perth Mint Great War Gold Sovereign Collection covers the period from the outbreak of the Great War until the guns finally fell silent more than four years later. This presentation unites the five different sovereign dates struck at The Perth Mint in 1914, 1915, 1916, 1917 and 1918.
St George and the Dragon design
Each of the five sovereigns in this collection is distinguished by Benedetto Pistrucci's famous St George and the Dragon reverse design, together with the original obverse portrait of H.M. King George V – a portrait featured from 1911 to 1928. Struck at The Perth Mint in 22-carat gold, each sovereign features the traditional 'P' mintmark and has been graded about Uncirculated - Uncirculated condition.
Presentation packaging
Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, this collection is housed in a black timber display case inside a metallic gold-coloured box. The box is wrapped in a black sleeve which features the iconic St George and the Dragon design and the words 'AUSTRALIAN GOLD SOVEREIGNS THE GREAT WAR' in gold foiling.
