This specimen was lot 40515 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2023), where it sold for $456. The catalog description[1] noted, "AUSTRALIA. Sovereign, 1925-P. Perth Mint. George V. NGC AU-58." This type was struck 1911-28 at the Sydney, Melbourne and Perth mints. The Perth mint was used mostly to strike sovereigns. It issued other denominations only sporadically before it closed in 1964. The Australian sovereign is identical to the ordinary British sovereign in every respect except for the addition of a mintmark, which will be found buried in the rock below the dragon on the reverse. As British issues effectively ceased after 1916, Australian sovereigns of George V are quite a bit more common. A slightly modified type (KM 32) was struck 1929 until 1931, when gold coinage ceased altogether.
Recorded mintage: 1,837,000.
Specification: 7.99 g, 0.917 fine gold, .2354 troy oz AGW, 21 mm diameter.
Catalog reference: S-4001; Fr-40; KM-29.
