Representing a remarkable fusion of British tradition and modern Australian minting excellence, The Perth Mint has unveiled a truly exceptional release: the Australia Five Sovereign 2025 Gold Proof Reverse Gilded Coin. This collector's piece is a sophisticated reinterpretation of a classical design, offering both artistic merit and significant precious metal content.
A Legacy Reimagined with Pink Gold
This magnificent coin is struck from 22-carat (91.67%) pure gold, a standard that honours the historical composition of Sovereigns. Containing a substantial 1.177 troy ounces of gold and carrying a face value of $100 AUD, its intrinsic value and weight are commensurate with its status as a Five Sovereign issue.
We'll say it again: this coin is beautiful.
The design is a masterful homage to Benedetto Pistrucci’s globally revered St George and the Dragon motif. For this modern release, The Perth Mint has re-imagined the heroic tale with a contemporary feel, showcasing a courageous, unmounted warrior raising his sword in a symbol of triumph over the dragon.
What sets this particular coin apart is the exquisite 22-carat pink-gold reverse gilding. This process selectively applies a layer of pink gold to the outer inscriptions and the iconic 'P' mintmark, creating a striking contrast against the natural golden hue of the proof-quality field. This sophisticated technique enhances the coin's visual depth, making the artistry truly pop.
Exclusivity and Presentation
Rarity is a defining characteristic of high-end numismatic assets, and this release is exceptionally scarce. The maximum mintage is strictly capped at only 150 coins worldwide. For Australian collectors, securing one of these pieces represents a rare opportunity to own a unique piece of The Perth Mint’s sovereign-producing legacy, which dates back to 1899.
The obverse of the coin features the contemporary effigy of His Majesty King Charles III, designed by Dan Thorne.
To ensure appropriate presentation and authenticity, each coin is housed in an elegant wooden case and accompanied by a numbered Certificate of Authenticity and an illustrated shipper. The combination of its low mintage, high gold purity, and beautiful reverse gilding positions the Australia Five Sovereign 2025 as a highly desirable addition to any serious collection.
