Product details
The Australian gold rush in the 1850s unearthed vast amounts of precious metal. To convert this enormous wealth into coins, the Perth Mint was established in 1899 as a branch of the British Royal Mint to mint Sovereigns from Western Australian gold. The first minted coin that is permanently displayed in the gold exhibition at the Perth Mint was one of 106 million Sovereigns produced until 1931. The classic design of the Sovereign features Saint George and a dragon. According to tradition, Saint George was a Roman guardian born in Greece and a Christian martyr. In the Middle Ages, myths surrounded him, including a long-lasting legend in which he saves a princess from a malevolent dragon. The annually released Sovereign gold coin from the Perth Mint is a prestigious 22-carat gold coin. The gold coin weighs 7.98 grams and is minted in "Proof" quality. The Proof quality is particularly sought after by collectors and is among the most elaborate manufacturing processes for a coin. The Gold Sovereign 3 Coin Set PP - Perth Mint 2025 consists of the Quarter, Half, and Full Sovereign 2025 and is limited to a worldwide mintage of only 250 pieces. The set is delivered in the original coin case, including a numbered certificate of authenticity. The design side features a naked warrior on a horse wielding a sword over a dragon, surrounded by a decorative circle of raised dots. In addition to the mintmark "P" of the Perth Mint, the design side also displays the inscriptions "AUSTRALIA" and the minting year "2025". The reverse side of the coin shows the portrait of King Charles III. Surrounding the portrait are the inscriptions "CHARLES III" and the country of origin "AUSTRALIA". Below the portrait, the face value is also depicted.
