Issued in 1918, the final year of the First World War.
Struck from 22-carat gold at the Perth Mint – carries P mintmark.
Graded by leading 3rd party verifier NGC at MS64 – equivalent of Choice Uncirculated.
Unites the St George & the Dragon design with the portrait of King George V.
Generally scarce today, with so many coins melted for the intrinsic value.
Especially scarce in this sensational state of preservation! Click add to cart!
Struck at the Perth Mint in the year that the First World War ended, and the guns finally fell silent after four years of slaughter, we have one example of the 1918P Gold Sovereign available – in magnificent Choice Uncirculated condition!
Uniting the timeless beauty of Pistrucci’s St George & the Dragon with the portrait of King George V by Australian artist Bertram Mackennal, all First World War sovereigns are scarce today. This is in part due to the generally low mintages, and the number melted for the gold – as well as those shipped overseas to pay off debt after WWI. Always in high demand due to the powerful link with Australia’s Baptism of Fire, WWI sovereigns are never more sought after than when found in the supreme state of preservation seen here.
Creating a strong bond with those who served Australia in “the war to end all wars”, the single example of the 1918P we have available has been graded by leading independent 3rd party verifier Numismatic Guaranty Corporation at MS64 – the equivalent of Choice Uncirculated quality.
