1817, GB, George III, Gold Sovereign, PCGS AU50.
Est: $3,000 - $4,000.
An exceptional specimen from the dawn of the modern sovereign era—this 1817 Sovereign was struck at the Royal Mint following the Great Recoinage. It features the authoritative laureate head of King George III on the obverse, and the iconic St. George slaying the dragon reverse by Benedetto Pistrucci, framed by the garter and motto—a design that set the standard for sovereigns to follow. With good lustre remaining within the legends and even wear across the surfaces, this pleasant example will sure attract many bidders looking to expand their sovereign collection.
2017, Year of the Rooster Opal Series First Strike, PCGS PR70DCAM.
Est. $500 - $700
A breathtaking and near-perfect Lunar Opal release by the Perth Mint—this 2017 Year of the Rooster $1 coin features a stunning Australian opal rooster design on the reverse, accentuated by razor-sharp fields and frosted devices. Struck in Proof 70 Deep Cameo as a First Strike, it stands proudly among the top-tier examples, sharing the highest population with just 21 others.
1797, GB, Cartwheel Penny, PCGS MS63BN.
Est. $900 - $1,200
Struck at Matthew Boulton’s pioneering steam-powered Soho Mint, the 1797 “Cartwheel” Penny was among the largest copper coins ever issued for circulation, earning its distinctive nickname. Designated as a Proclamation Coin in New South Wales in 1800 and revalued to two pence, it played a vital role in stabilising the fledgling colony’s currency at a time when no local coinage could be produced and monetary shortages were severe. The type saw extensive daily use in both Britain and Australia, and as a result, high-grade survivors are rare. This example, with sharp strike definition, smooth brown surfaces, and vibrant underlying lustre, is an exceptional representative of a historically significant issue seldom encountered in such preservation.
1967, Australia, Coombs Randall Star Note Pair, PCGS MS65/MS66.
Est. $8,500 - $10,000
A mid prefix consecutive pair of star replacement notes originating from the scarcest signature combination for decimal banknotes, this consecutive pair is extremely scarce and of the highest quality, both receiving a GEM UNC grading from PCGS. One of the finest known.
