Honouring the rich heritage of Australia’s historic sovereign coinage, the Australia 2026 Sovereign 91.67% Proof Gold Coin 7.988g reimagines one of the world’s most iconic coin designs in stunning modern form. Struck by The Perth Mint from 7.988 grams of 91.67% pure gold, this elegant proof release celebrates both numismatic tradition and Australia’s minting legacy.

Originally established in 1899 as a branch of Britain’s Royal Mint, The Perth Mint produced over 106 million sovereigns featuring Benedetto Pistrucci’s legendary St George and the Dragon design. This 2026 edition presents a contemporary interpretation of that timeless masterpiece, portraying a heroic mounted warrior wielding a sword against a fierce dragon — symbolising courage, honour, and the triumph of good over evil.

The dynamic reverse design is framed within a decorative circle of raised dots and includes the country of issue, year of issue, The Perth Mint’s ‘P’ mintmark, and a special “100” privy mark commemorating what would have been the 100th birthday of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. The obverse bears Dan Thorne’s effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, surrounded by inscriptions denoting “CHARLES III”, country of issue and face value.

Presented in a premium display case with themed packaging, this beautifully crafted proof gold coin is a meaningful tribute to sovereign history and royal legacy alike. With a single-issue mintage of only 1,250 pieces worldwide, it is a desirable collectible for both modern coin enthusiasts and admirers of classic sovereign designs.
