The Perth Mint began operations in 1899 as the third branch of the Royal Mint in Australia, following Sydney and Melbourne. Built to refine gold coming from the goldfields of Western Australia, the mint was positioned near major deposits like those in Kalgoorlie and Coolgardie. It was originally used to produce British Sovereigns. Today, you can purchase the 2025 Proof Australian Gold Perth Mint Sovereign Coin online at BullionMax.

The obverse of the 2025 Proof Gold Perth Mint Sovereign Coin features a portrait of King Charles III. Shown in left-profile relief, the King is depicted without a crown. This is the first official portrait of Charles III used on Australian coins and was designed by Dan Thorne.

On the reverse side of the 2025 Proof Australian Gold Sovereign Coin, you’ll find a classic image of St. George slaying a dragon. Originally created by Benedetto Pistrucci, this version is reimagined by Jennifer McKenna. St. George was a Roman soldier of Greek origin, remembered for his martyrdom during the Roman Empire’s persecution of Christians around 303 AD. He was later declared a saint and became a patron figure for several nations, with April 23rd recognized as his feast day.

Between 1899 and 1931, the Perth Mint struck more than 106 million gold sovereigns. These coins, marked with a ‘P’ mintmark, stood apart from London-made coins and were known for their high purity, thanks to the gold sourced and refined locally in Western Australia. These coins played an important role in both trade and currency systems of the time.

Each 2025 Proof Australian Gold Perth Mint Sovereign Coin comes in a high-quality wooden display box with a matching themed shipper. The coin is 22-karat gold with a purity of 91.67% and includes a Certificate of Authenticity.
