1930 P Australia King George V St George Sovereign Gold Coin
Product Description:
King George V is remembered for his unwavering commitment to duty and public service. During World War I, he boosted morale among troops by visiting the front lines and instituted the annual tradition of delivering a Christmas message to the nation, which still continues. After the war, he oversaw the transition of the British Empire to the Commonwealth of Nations, recognizing the independence of former colonies and played a key role in negotiating the Treaty of Versailles.
His reign saw the production of some of the rarest and most sought-after sovereigns which remain highly valued by collectors due to their historical significance and rarity. These coins serve as a tangible reminder of Australia's early economic and political development and provide a valuable investment opportunity for collectors and investors alike.
These coins were produced in Australia from 1910 to 1931. The coins were struck by the Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney mints, and were widely used as currency throughout the British Empire including in Australia until 1931. The King George V Gold Sovereigns were the only Sovereign to be produced at every colonial mint.
