๐Ÿ’Ž THE COIN

A magnificent gold sovereign struck at the Pretoria Mint, South Africa in 1930 โ€” during the reign of King George V. Bearing the iconic reverse of St. George slaying the dragon, this coin is one of the most celebrated designs in British numismatic history, struck in 22-carat gold.

Obverse: King George V โ€” GEORGIVS V D.G.BRITT:OMN:REX F.D.IND:IMP
Reverse: St. George & the Dragon โ€” SA mintmark ยท 1930

๐Ÿ’Ž WHY THIS COIN STANDS OUT

โญ PCGS MS64 โ€” Exceptional Mint State with full original luster
โญ Pretoria Mint (SA) โ€” a scarce branch mint issue, far rarer than London sovereigns in high grade
โญ Population: only 41 certified at MS64 โ€” just 11 graded higher
โญ Sharp strike โ€” bold portrait of George V, fully detailed St. George reverse
โญ PCGS Gold Shieldโ„ข holder with NFC anti-counterfeiting technology
โญ S-4005 variety โ€” catalogued and verified

๐Ÿ’Ž THE SA MINTMARK โ€” WHY IT MATTERS

The "SA" mintmark denotes production at the Pretoria Mint, established in 1923 to serve the Union of South Africa. SA sovereigns were struck in smaller quantities than their London counterparts and are significantly scarcer in top Mint State grades. Collectors who specialize in branch mint sovereigns actively seek out SA examples โ€” particularly in MS64 and above.
With only 11 examples graded higher by PCGS, this coin sits at the very top of the condition census for this date and mint.

๐Ÿ’Ž HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE

George V reigned from 1910 to 1936 โ€” a period spanning the First World War, the formation of the British Commonwealth, and the twilight of the great British Empire. Gold sovereigns of this era were among the last gold coins to circulate freely in world commerce. By 1930, sovereign production was winding down โ€” making high-grade survivors like this increasingly rare and treasured by collectors worldwide.
