This coin was struck from the gold prospected by those down on their luck during the Great Depression.

The Royal Mint Annual Report for the Melbourne Mint in 1930 showed that the number of small deposits of gold lodged with them during that calendar year was significantly higher than it was during previous years.

The reason for this rise was simple - unemployment had reached record levels, and a large number of people turned to prospecting as a way of providing for their families.

It is incredible to think that the gold from which this very sovereign was struck was collected by hand by someone very keen to provide for their family. It remains as attractive and solid as the day it was struck.
