Comprises three 22-carat gold sovereigns struck in Australia in 1913.
Distinguished by the timeless beauty of Pistrucci’s St George & the Dragon design.
Each coin bears a mintmark below St George – M (Melbourne), P (Perth) & S (Sydney) respectively.
Each coin also carries portrait of King George V by Australian artist, Bertram Mackennal.
All three coins presented in Extremely Fine to about Uncirculated condition.
Beautifully presented with a timber case with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Struck in 1913, just one year before the storm clouds broke over Europe, and tens of thousands of Australians would bravely march off to defend the Empire, we have a small number of the King George V 1913 M,P,S Gold Sovereign Trio available.
A prestigious acquisition for any collector, the set comprises three gold sovereigns – struck at the branches of the Royal Mint in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth respectively. Struck from lustrous 22-carat gold, each 22.05mm coin features Benedetto Pistrucci’s neo-classical masterpiece St George & the Dragon upon the reverse. Designed by Australian artist, Sir Bertram Mackennal, the portrait of King George V adorns the obverse.
Bearing the M (Melbourne), P (Perth) and S (Sydney) mintmarks, the three sovereign issues of 1913 are typical of all early George V Sovereigns – scarce in better grade. This is largely attributable to the fact that 1913 Sovereigns were issued at a time when gold coins were still used in general circulation, before the financial crisis engendered by WWI spelt the doom of gold as circulating currency. Thus, the vast majority of surviving pre-WWI sovereigns are well worn. With the natural scarcity intensified by the number melted for the intrinsic value over the years, the 1913 Gold Sovereign Trio is tough-to-find in better grade – as presented here.
Superbly presented, the three 1913 Gold Sovereigns are in premium grade Extremely Fine to about Uncirculated condition. Click add to cart now!
