1902-1910-M Australia Gold Sovereign Edward VII AU
Struck in the early twentieth century, this gold sovereign represents a fascinating era of Australian and British coining history. Produced at the Melbourne Mint in Australia, the coin is composed of 0.2354 troy ounces of gold with a purity of 0.9167. Its physical preservation places it in Almost Uncirculated condition, meaning it retains much of its original luster and detail from the minting process. The obverse of the coin displays a right-facing portrait of King Edward VII, surrounded by a formal Latin inscription. This royal likeness offers a direct connection to the Edwardian period, capturing the likeness of the monarch who reigned from 1901 to 1910. On the reverse, the coin features the classic, dynamic scene of St. George on horseback slaying a dragon, a masterpiece of numismatic art designed by Benedetto Pistrucci. Observers can locate the small letter 'M' on this side, which serves as the mint mark identifying its origin at the Melbourne facility.
