Victoria gold Sovereign 1856-SYDNEY MS61 NGC, Sydney mint, KM2, Fr-9. A superb and conditionally rare example of this latter date of a short-lived two-year type. As most examples experienced relatively heavy circulation, the number of Mint State survivors pales in comparison to that seen with later issues. Only three uncirculated examples have been seen by NGC, none certifying higher than the present MS61-graded specimen, with PCGS having seen only a single uncirculated representative certifying MS62. The offering at hand, therefore, represents a remarkable survivor of the 1856-dated issue, ranking at the very cusp of certified quality seen to-date. Bold and gleaming with bright golden luster, this delightful rarity is sure to please its future owner.
