This commemorative proof coin celebrates the 200th anniversary of Queen Victoria’s birth in 2019 while paying tribute to the historic 1855 Sydney Mint sovereign coin designed by Royal Mint Engraver Leonard Charles Wyon which was the first coin to be produced at The Sydney Mint in 1855.
Under the authority of Queen Victoria who was the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom and its colonies from 1837 until her death in 1901 a new reverse design was developed to differentiate the Sydney Mint sovereigns from the Imperial coins.
In 1857 a bold new effigy of the Queen featuring a sprig of banksia in her hair was circulated and subsequent historic Australian coins incorporated elements of the Imperial sovereign’s design.
Struck by The Perth Mint this 22 carat gold Australian Proof Sovereign has a face value of $25 and weighs 7.99 grams. The reverse portrays St. Edward's crown a laurel wreath and the word Australia with 'Perth Mint' above and 'Sovereign' below. In celebration of the 200th anniversary of Queen Victoria’s birth in 2019 the coin also bears a ‘200’ privy mark.
