Description

Near-Choice Survivor of the Great Melt

George V gold Sovereign 1921-M MS62 NGC, Melbourne mint, KM29, S-3999. Mintage: 240,000. One of the lower mintages of the entire series and made even more elusive by the fact that much of the original mintage was melted, a rarity confirmed by the limited population on NGC's census, this being one of only five certified there. Legends executed in textbook quality are amplified by whirling luster and a hint of saffron tone, a pleasing palette for this particular design. Falling just short of Choice preservation due to bag marks and slight rub to the reverse motifs, but no less desirable for collectors of the Australian series.

Metal: Gold
Diameter: 21mm
Weight: 7.9881g
AGW: 0.2355oz
Mintage: 240,000
