1896-S Queen Victoria Gold Sovereign – Sydney Mint, BU Quality
This 1896-S British gold sovereign was minted at the Sydney Mint and features the distinguished "Veiled Head" portrait of Queen Victoria on the obverse, created by Thomas Brock. The reverse showcases Benedetto Pistrucci’s timeless design of Saint George slaying the dragon. Struck in 22-karat gold (0.9167 fineness) and weighing approximately 7.98 grams, this sovereign is a classic example of late-Victorian coinage.
The coin exhibits strong original luster and crisp detailing, particularly on the Queen’s veil and the Saint George motif. The well-preserved surfaces and sharp strike highlight its appeal for collectors of historic British gold coinage. This piece is an excellent representation of the craftsmanship and history of the Sydney Mint in the late 19th century.
