Comment
Alternate version of the $25 Gold Sovereign from the Perth Mint only issued in 2009
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an alternate version of the 4th portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which was designed by sculptor Ian Rank-Broadley. This portrait was specifically created for the Australian Sovereign coin series and features a more youthful and relaxed depiction of the Queen, compared to the traditional effigy used on most coins.
