2026 Perth Mint Sovereign Gold Proof Coin
Australia Sovereign Series | Gold Proof | Limited Mintage 1,500
The 2026 Australia Sovereign Gold Proof Coin celebrates one of the most iconic designs in numismatic history while honouring The Perth Mint’s rich sovereign minting heritage.
Struck from 91.67% gold to The Perth Mint’s prestigious Proof standard, this collectible release reimagines Benedetto Pistrucci’s legendary St George and the Dragon design through a contemporary interpretation by acclaimed designer Jennifer McKenna.
Originally established in 1899 as a branch of Britain’s Royal Mint, The Perth Mint produced more than 106 million sovereigns between 1899 and 1931. This modern tribute pays homage to that historic legacy while introducing a special privy mark commemorating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Presented in a prestigious wooden display case with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity, this limited-edition release is restricted to a maximum mintage of only 1,500 coins worldwide.
