1918-S Australia Gold Sovereign George V MS-64 PCGS
1918-S Australia Gold Sovereign George V MS-64 PCGS
Struck in the final year of the First World War, this gold sovereign represents a fascinating chapter in Australian branch minting. Produced at the historic Sydney Mint, the coin is composed of 0.2355 troy ounces of gold, refined to a purity of 0.9167. Its survival in such an outstanding state of preservation has earned it a high certified grade of Mint State 64 (MS-64). The obverse of the coin displays a left-facing portrait of King George V, depicted without a crown. Surrounding his likeness is a traditional Latin inscription, partially visible in the strike as GEORGIVS V. This dignified royal portrait is paired with one of the most famous designs in numismatic history on the reverse, where Saint George is shown on horseback, dynamically slaying a mythical dragon.
