1866 Sydney Mint Sovereign - PCGS MS63

Australia, 1866 Sydney Mint Sovereign -

Sydney Mint sovereigns have always been my favourite sovereign. The obverse features an attractive version of a young Queen Victoria, while the reverse is unique in that it is the only sovereign on which the denomination and place of origin are incorporated into the design. The example here is the equal-second finest graded by PCGS (6/22) and one of the finest examples of the Sydney Mint sovereign we’ve handled in recent years.
