1903-S Australia Gold Sovereign Edward VII BU
Struck in the year 1903, this gold sovereign represents a fascinating chapter of Australian coining history under the British crown. Produced at the Sydney Mint, the coin is composed of 0.9167 fine gold, containing 0.2354 troy ounces of pure precious metal. This particular issue had a mintage of 8,889,000 pieces and remains preserved in brilliant uncirculated condition. The obverse of the sovereign displays the right-facing portrait of King Edward VII, surrounded by the Latin inscriptions of his royal titles. On the reverse, viewers will find the iconic depiction of St. George on horseback in the middle of slaying a dragon, a classic numismatic masterpiece designed by Benedetto Pistrucci. Collectors can locate the tiny 'S' mint mark, indicating its Sydney origin, positioned directly beneath the horse on the reverse side, just above the 1903 date.
