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 pays tribute to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s 95th Birthday.

The mintage is 1000 but the Perth mint kept 200 of the coins to be struck on the 21st of April to be released as a 'struck on the day' limited edition of the coin.
