1932 King George V Royal Mint South Africa Gold Coin with Case

1932 King George V Royal Mint South Africa Gold Coin. The coin includes a certificate of authenticity and case. Please see images for more details.

Not every date exists for gold sovereigns. 1932 was the last date of gold sovereign issued for George V. There were none issued for Edward VIII, and none for George VI, except for those in the 4-coin gold sets issued for the Coronation in 1937. Similarly, none were issued for Elizabeth II until 1957 so that 1932 was the last date of the sovereign to be issued for a quarter of a century.

Only the Pretoria Mint issued sovereigns in 1932, the Melbourne and Perth Mints having stopped the previous year. The S.A. (South Africa) mintmark is visible on the ground above the center of the date.

The mintage figure for 1932 was quite low at just over 1 million, compared with over 8 million for the previous year from the Pretoria Mint only, and over 30 million in some years.
