The mint first began striking Sovereigns in 1899 when the Western Australian branch of the Royal Mint helped meet demand during a major gold rush era.

Historic Sovereigns from the Perth, Melbourne, and Sydney Mints are known for their distinct mint marks, which help distinguish the coins within the broader Sovereign series. Their connection to Australia’s colonial history and the relatively small number of surviving examples have made them popular among collectors. This modern issue continues Australia’s long-running contribution to the Sovereign tradition.

Each 2026 Proof Australian Silver Sovereign Coin in this listing is presented in a black display case featuring the St. George design on the lid. The coin and case arrive inside an illustrated shipper and are accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. Struck in proof quality, these coins feature frosted visuals contrasted by mirrored fields.

The obverse of the 2026 Proof Australian Sovereign Coin showcases the first-generation portrait of King Charles III from The Perth Mint. Created by Dan Thorne and introduced on Australian coinage in 2024, the design depicts His Majesty in left-profile relief without a crown.

The reverse of the 2026 Proof Australian Silver Sovereign Coin features Jennifer McKenna’s modern take on Benedetto Pistrucci’s famous St. George design. The artwork shows St. George riding an unarmored horse as it rises up while facing a winged dragon. The reverse also includes the special 100 privy mark, recognizing the 100th birthday of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 2026.
