1889 Melbourne Mint Jubilee Head Gold Sovereign

The 1889 Melbourne Mint Gold Sovereign is a historic Australian gold coin struck during the reign of Queen Victoria. Featuring the distinctive Jubilee Head portrait introduced in 1887, this sovereign represents a short-lived and highly collectable chapter in Victorian coinage.

Struck in 22-carat gold at the Melbourne Mint, the coin combines Australia’s colonial minting heritage with one of the most recognisable designs in numismatics. The obverse displays Queen Victoria wearing the small crown and veil of the Jubilee Head design, while the reverse features Benedetto Pistrucci’s celebrated depiction of St George slaying the dragon.

Containing 0.2354 troy ounces of fine gold, the 1889 Melbourne Mint Sovereign appeals to both collectors of Australian gold coinage and those interested in historic British Empire issues. The combination of the Melbourne mintmark, Jubilee Head portrait, and classic St George reverse continues to make these sovereigns a popular choice amongst collectors of Victorian-era gold coins.
