serious Australian collector, the 1899P Gold Sovereign was the first coin struck by the Perth Mint.
Apart from being the first of its kind, the 1899P Sovereign is also notable as the Mint’s scarcest, lowest mintage sovereign. The mintage was closed at a mere 691,000, and with a vast majority lost, withdrawn from circulation and recycled or falling victim to the profiteer’s melting pot in the 120 years since issue, this important rarity is rarely seen in premium quality.
A key date in the Australian sovereign series, this superb example has been officially graded by PCGS at MS61 – the equivalent of Uncirculated.
