A Deeper Look into this Sovereign:

Introduced in 1887 to celebrate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee, the obverse of this coin displays the regal portrait by Joseph Edgar Boehm, capturing the queen in her Jubilee attire with timeless elegance.

Collectors will appreciate the “long tail” variety on this sovereign, defined by a single spur of hair in the left indent of the horse’s tail – a distinctive identifier prized among advanced sovereign collectors.

The Melbourne Mint, established in 1872, was dedicated to sovereign production until 1916, adding historical depth and Australian mint heritage to your portfolio.
