1870 Sydney Mint Sovereign Type II NGC MS61 (Uncirculated)
The last Sydney Mint Sovereign – in Uncirculated quality!
Gold Rush history you can hold in your hands, the 1870 Sydney Mint Sovereign is one of our most important coins. The last issue of Australia’s first sovereign series, struck at Australia’s first official mint, this key date is always sought after – particularly in seldom seen Uncirculated quality!
As the Sydney Mint was created in direct response to the discovery of huge deposits of gold in the 1850s, the 1870 Sydney Mint Sovereign is physical evidence of Australia’s Gold Rush heritage. Bearing the distinctive ‘wreath’ design, with ‘SYDNEY MINT’, ‘AUSTRALIA’ and ‘ONE SOVEREIGN’ proudly emblazoned upon the reverse, the coin is also a bold statement of Australia’s developing identity, and the beginning of our march to nationhood.
The final date of the 1855-70 Sydney Mint Sovereign Series, with the Mint forced to use standard British designs from 1871, the 1870 Sydney Mint Sovereign is naturally sought after by passionate coin collectors. Hotly pursued for its ‘last issue’ status, this crucial date is also notable as the 4th lowest mintage 1857-70 Type II Sydney Mint Sovereign. With just 1.2m struck, and so many melted for the gold, this historic 22-carat gold coin is also desired for its scarcity. Tough-to-find in better grade, this date is unquestionably rare in the spectacular state of preservation seen here.
Underpinned by excellent detail in the designs and a lovely golden lustre, the single example we have available has been graded by leading independent 3rd party coin verifiers Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) at MS61 – the equivalent of Uncirculated condition.
