1893-M Gold Sovereign – Victoria Veiled Head – Melbourne Mint XF
This 1893-M gold sovereign, struck at the Melbourne Mint, features Queen Victoria’s Veiled Head portrait designed by Thomas Brock, paired with Benedetto Pistrucci’s classic reverse of St. George slaying the dragon. The “M” mintmark denotes its Australian origin, adding collectability to this first-year issue of the Veiled Head series. Struck in 22-karat gold (91.7% purity) with a weight of 7.98 grams, this sovereign represents both historical significance and intrinsic bullion value.
The 1893-M sovereign is a sought-after type, with high-grade certified examples (MS62 and above) reaching upwards of $1,200–$1,500 at auction. While this coin grades around Extremely Fine (XF), it retains clear detail and warm gold luster, appealing to collectors and investors alike. A strong addition to any advanced British or Australian gold coin collection.
Condition:
In XF condition with moderate wear on high points, consistent with careful circulation. Details of Victoria’s portrait and St. George remain clear and sharp, with minor surface marks visible under magnification. No significant damage or cleaning evident.
