1852 Type II Adelaide Pound - PCGS MS62+

Australia, 1852 Type II Adelaide Pound -

Australia’s first indigenous coin, the Adelaide Pound, remains one of our most popular and enduring rarities. Immune to the fads that have hit other parts of the coin market, the Adelaide Sovereign, as it was originally referred to, deserves a place in every sovereign collector’s set. The present coin, photographed above, is one of the nicest pieces we’ve handled, and the first Mint State coin we’ve been able offer since 2020. While the strike is satisfactory, the cartwheel lustre scintillates. If you’ve been chasing a key Australian rarity or just want an important coin in your growing collection of Australiana, you deserve to own this coin.
