The Perth, Sydney \u0026amp; Melbourne mints all struck this iconic coin in the 19\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e and 20\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e centuries for circulation around the British Empire. In 2009, after a hiatus of nearly 80 years, the Perth Mint began striking sovereigns again – this time for collectors. Now firmly established as one of Australia’s premier numismatic series, Perth Mint sovereigns have always been struck in gold – until now. Giving everyone the chance to play a part in the series, the Perth Mint is to be applauded for striking the sovereign – for the very first time – in pure, sparkling 99.99% silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSimply sensational value-for-money at an Official Issue Price of just $79, this pioneering precious metal Proof is distinguished by the Perth Mint’s reimagined St George \u0026amp; the Dragon motif. An official tribute to the centenary of the birth of Queen Elizabeth II, each coin also features a unique ‘100’ privymark! An official Australian legal tender coin, the obverse carries the official portrait of the Queen’s son \u0026amp; successor, King Charles III.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWith the price so low, we expect that the 10,000-coin mintage will be wiped out in record time. With our allocation strictly limited, we must – in the interests of fairness – enforce a limit of three coins per household.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDo not delay your order – click add to cart now!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Downies Collectables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49136557392180,"sku":"42252","price":79.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/1815\/9156\/files\/42252-1.jpg?v=1779754790","url":"https:\/\/www.downies.com\/products\/australia-2026-silver-sovereign-proof-coin-centenary-of-the-birth-of-elizabeth-ii","provider":"Downies Collectables","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
