Australian Sovereigns struck at the Perth, Melbourne, and Sydney Mints have long been identified by their individual mint marks. These historic issues represent an important part of the larger Sovereign series and remain popular with collectors today. Their origins during Australia’s colonial gold era and lower surviving mintages have helped make them desirable among collectors building complete Sovereign collections. This modern release continues Australia’s role in the ongoing Gold Sovereign tradition.

On the obverse of the 2026 Proof Gold Quarter Sovereign Coin is the first-generation portrait of King Charles III from the Perth Mint. His Majesty is shown in left-profile relief without a crown. The design was created by Dan Thorne and first appeared on Australian coinage in 2024.

The reverse of the 2026 Proof Australian Gold Quarter Sovereign features a refreshed interpretation of Benedetto Pistrucci’s famous St. George design by artist Jennifer McKenna. In this version, St. George rides on horseback without armor while confronting a winged dragon. The design field also includes the special 100 privy mark recognizing what would have been Queen Elizabeth II’s 100th birthday in 2026.
