1923 Pretoria currency-issue Sovereign - PCGS AU58

South Africa, 1923 Pretoria currency-issue Sovereign -

There are just two rare South African sovereigns, and the 1923-SA currency issue is the rarer one. Struck in limited numbers from a single consignment of gold, the coin is a classic sovereign rarity. It is highly desirable in all grades, and is keenly sought by collectors and investors alike. Just a dozen examples have been certified by PCGS (6/23), while we have handled just six coins since 2007 (including one impaired coin with filed rims, which was not PCGS graded). By whatever metric you use, the coin is rare. If you’re seeking to add an important sovereign rarity to your collection, or are an investor looking for a coin with encouraging fundamentals, this coin is for you.
