Historic 1891 Sydney Mint Queen Victoria Jubilee Head Gold Sovereign

The 1891 Gold Sovereign St George Jubilee Queen Victoria Sydney Mint is a classic piece of Australian and British numismatic history. Struck at the Sydney branch of the Royal Mint during the reign of Queen Victoria, this historic sovereign is produced in 22-carat gold with a total weight of approximately 7.98 grams and contains around 7.32 grams of pure gold.

The obverse features the distinguished Jubilee Head portrait of Queen Victoria, designed by Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of her reign. The reverse showcases Benedetto Pistrucci’s celebrated St George and the Dragon design, one of the most iconic images in world coinage. The small “S” mintmark beneath the ground line identifies the coin as a Sydney Mint issue.
