1918-M Australia Gold Sovereign George V BU
In 1918, the Melbourne Mint in Australia produced a gold sovereign that stands as a classic example of twentieth-century coinage. Struck in 0.917 fine gold with an actual gold weight of 0.2355 ounces, this piece represents a fascinating chapter in global currency history. The coin is preserved in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, maintaining the sharp details of its original strike. The obverse features the left-facing, uncrowned portrait of King George V, accompanied by the Latin inscription GEORGIVS V. On the reverse, the coin displays the legendary motif of Saint George on horseback, engaged in combat with a dragon. This iconic design, paired with the Melbourne mint mark, makes the 1918 sovereign a compelling study in both artistry and historical manufacturing.
