2025 Australia $25 7.988-gm Gold Sovereign Proof

Modern Gold Sovereigns From Australia

The gold sovereign is the British Empire's most iconic coin, struck in gold–which, let's face it, never goes out of style. Collectors can't resist, especially with mints worldwide churning out all kinds of sovereign-inspired coins, some brilliant, others... well, creative attempts. Australia's famed Perth Mint, part of the original sovereign story, has been making sought-after versions since 1999, keeping the legacy alive even when the world feels upside down. For 2025, Perth has released a fantastic new version of the Gold Sovereign with an image that reimagines the famous Benedetto Pistrucci design of St. George slaying the dragon design.

St. George As How He Would Have Looked Centuries Ago

Designed by veteran Perth Mint Graphic Designer Jennifer McKenna, the new design shows St. George as how the Greek-born Roman guard and Christian martyr actually would have looked centuries ago. He's shown here as a naked warrior on horseback brandishing a sword above a dragon in homage to the famous story of how he saved a princess from a wicked dragon. Since the Middle Ages, St. George has represented courage and the victory of good over evil. Today, St. George is the patron saint of numerous countries, including England, Greece, Georgia, Portugal, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Syria, and Palestine. Additionally, he is the patron saint of various regions, cities, and organizations, like Catalonia, Aragon, Genoa, and Rio de Janeiro.
