1887-1893-M Australia Gold Sovereign Victoria Jubilee Avg Circ
Struck in the late nineteenth century, this gold Sovereign represents a fascinating era of Australian coining. Produced at the Melbourne Mint between 1887 and 1893, each piece carries a distinct 'M' mint mark on its reverse, identifying its origin from the historic branch mint in Victoria, Australia. Crafted from 0.9167 fine gold, the coin contains 0.2354 troy ounces of precious metal and survives today in average circulated condition, showing the honest wear of its journey through time. The obverse of the coin features a left-facing crowned bust of Queen Victoria, created to mark her Jubilee. This regal portrait is encircled by a traditional Latin legend. On the reverse, the coin displays the dynamic and classic depiction of St. George on horseback in the act of slaying a dragon, a masterpiece created by the artist Benedetto Pistrucci.
