2024 Gold Proof AUSTRALIA SOVEREIGN

A certificate accompanies this 2024 Australia Sovereign Gold Proof Coin.  Struck by the Perth Mint from 91.67% pure gold in proof quality, the coin is issued as legal tender under the Australian Currency Act 1965.

Historic connection

Production of traditional sovereigns from Western Australian gold was the lifeblood of The Perth Mint in the years up to 1931. One hundred and six million pieces were struck, each bearing Benedetto Pistrucci’s classical St George and the Dragon design and a ‘P’ mintmark.

Design re-imagined

Inspired by the original reverse, the modern collectable presents St George’s victory over a malevolent dragon in a new light for contemporary collectors. A naked warrior on horseback is seen brandishing a sword above the defiant lizard. The image appears within a decorative circle of raised dots, together with the inscription ‘AUSTRALIA 2024’, and a ‘P125’ mintmark. 

The coin's obverse depicts the Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queren Elizabeth II, the 2022 year-date and its Australian monetary denomination.

No more than 930 of the Australia Sovereign 2024 Gold Proof Coin will be released by The Perth Mint in this packaging.

The coin is encapsulated, housed in the original black Perth Mint presentation case, with outer box and a Certificate of Authenticity.
