Comment

Struck by the Perth Mint this Australian Sovereign is a prestigious 22-carat gold coin featuring a design inspired by sovereigns made at the Sydney Mint between 1855 and 1866. With two significant embellishments, this release celebrates 165 years since the First Sovereign was issued in Australia.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique double effigy design, with both a traditional portrait of Queen Elizabeth II and a second, more modern depiction of her Majesty in a cameo style. This is the first time that two different portraits of the Queen have been featured on the same coin.
