This modern sovereign is far rarer than the proof version of the same coin.
The Perth Mint opened for operations on June 20th, 1899, and has been in continuous operation since then. The Perth Mint is known around the world for the quality and purity of its sovereigns, so it is hardly surprising that a sovereign was chosen as the base for the coin that marked a full century of operations.
This superb coin features a 22ct gold core with the exact same specifications as the Imperial sovereigns struck at the Perth Mint between 1899 and 1931, and is housed within a pure silver surround.
Despite it's attractive reverse-frosted appearance, the specimen example of the 1999 sovereign wasn't as popular as the proof version - just 977 of these were struck, relative to 5,625 of the proof coins.
This coin remains in the original presentation case, and comes with the certificate of authenticity.
