Victoria gold 1/2 Sovereign 1861-SYDNEY XF45 NGC, Sydney mint, KM3. Boasting a small mintage for the series, this moderately-circulated example is one of the finer examples of this date extant. Featuring the evenly-worn young head of Victoria surrounded by antiqued golden tone and fields that are surprising free of any distracting marks. Moments of residual luster peek through on occasion and further add to the appeal of this scarce offering.
