Australia
South Australia. British Colony - Victoria gold "Adelaide" Pound 1852 AU58 NGC, KM2, Fr-3, Rennik-pg. 21, McDonald-pg. 41. Type II reverse with dentilated/crenellated inner border. A rare and desirable type of the wider Australian series-- one instantly recognizable by its prominently positioned obverse crown, a bold and centrally located denomination of " VALUE ONE POUND," and its elegant inner border designs, which provide a pleasing visual frame for the central elements. In hand, this sleek offering appears virtually Mint State, displaying both crisp designs and surprisingly clean fields that sparkle upon rotation. Only magnification reveals just a hair of highpoint rub, yet in all regards, this high-caliber offering must be considered as an appealing proposition for any collector of world or Australian rarities, particularly those who may find a high-quality circulated example preferable to a likely more heavily marked uncirculated one. Sold with collector envelope and a handwritten tag containing the words "Australia's First Gold Coin."
