The Gold Sovereigns struck during WWI enable the collector to create a powerful connection with those who served Australia with such distinction in 'the war to end all wars'. An important opportunity, we have a tiny number of complete sovereign trios from 1914 available - in Extremely Fine to about Uncirculated quality!
Uniting the timeless beauty of Pistrucci's St George & the Dragon reverse with the distinguished features of King George V, all WWI sovereigns are scarce today. Whilst in part due to the low mintages, and the number melted for the gold in the century since struck, the difficulty in tracking down WWI dates is largely due to the fact that these coins are inextricably linked with Australia's Baptism of Fire.
Struck in the years that 330,000 Australians set off overseas to defend the British Empire, these coins represent Australian history you can hold in your hands. Demand during the Centenary of WWI has therefore naturally been extremely strong, and these coins are harder to track down than ever before.
Comprising three sovereigns struck at the branches of the Royal Mint in Melbourne, Perth and Sydney respectively, each trio is set in a timber case with a Certificate of Authenticity.
