The sovereigns struck during the 1914-18 Great War 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 sovereign trios from 1917 available – in Extremely Fine to about Uncirculated condition!
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. This is in part due to the low mintages, and the number melted for the gold in the century since struck – particularly to pay off international debt after WWI. The difficulty in tracking down WWI dates is also attributable to the fact that these coins are inextricably linked with Australia’s Baptism of Fire.
Comprising three sovereigns struck in the penultimate year of WWI at the Melbourne, Perth and Sydney Mints respectively, each 1917 trio is set in a timber case with a Certificate of Authenticity. With tiny numbers in stock, immediate action is a must. Click add to cart now!
