1911-1936 Australia Gold Sovereign George V MS-62 PCGS/NGC

---

During the reign of King George V, Australian mints produced a series of gold sovereign coins that remain highly regarded for their classic artistry and historical consistency. Struck between 1911 and 1936, these pieces contain 0.2354 troy ounces of gold with a purity of 0.9167. Each specimen is certified in Mint State 62 condition, preserving the fine details of its original production. The obverse of the coin displays the profile of King George V, accompanied by the traditional Latin inscriptions. On the reverse, viewers will find the iconic depiction of Saint George on horseback, engaged in combat with a dragon, a design created by artist Benedetto Pistrucci, whose initials appear on the design. These sovereigns were produced at one of three Australian branch mints, identifiable by the mintmarks representing Melbourne, Perth, or Sydney, and are cataloged under the reference KM#29.
