1910-S Australia Gold Sovereign Edward VII BU
Struck in the final year of King Edward VII's reign, this 1910 gold sovereign represents a fascinating chapter of branch minting within the British Empire. Produced at the Sydney Mint in Australia, the coin is composed of 0.9167 fine gold, containing 0.2354 troy ounces of precious metal. It survives today in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, preserving the sharp details of its original strike from a total mintage of 2,135,000 pieces. The obverse of the coin displays a right-facing portrait of King Edward VII, surrounded by a formal Latin inscription. This royal likeness is paired with a legendary reverse design by Benedetto Pistrucci, which depicts the dramatic scene of Saint George on horseback slaying a mythical dragon. Collectors can identify the Australian origin of this sovereign by locating the small letter S mint mark positioned on the reverse side of the coin.
