Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1902-1910 Australian Gold Sovereign coin is that it was minted during a time when Australia was still a British colony, and the coin features an image of King Edward VII, who was the King of the United Kingdom at the time. Despite being minted in Australia, the coin was still considered legal tender in the UK and other parts of the British Empire. This highlights the historical connection between Australia and the UK, and the fact that the coin was made of gold adds to its value and collectibility.
