I will not talk about photography or angles, filters and lights because my knowledge is very limited.

But this coin is absolutely stunning and you should show us both sides.

The Perth Mint Centenary Sovereign issued in 22ct gold surrounded by a pure silver ring is absolutely unique, made at the highest Perth Mint quality standards. 

I am happy you have bought it from me, because you can show everyone this coin in its real beauty.🤗

Thank you.  As you ask so nicely...

12 Beginner Tips for Better Coin Photos

Everything you need to take great coin photos

Douglas Hubbard: Never attribute to malice or stupidity that which can be explained by moderately rational individuals following incentives in a complex system of interactions.

I took a short video with my phone, capturing the screen of my camera, to try to show the effect of the polariser.

The video starts with the polariser in the wrong position, like with image #2 above.

After a few seconds, I rotate the filter to the optimal position.

Hopefully you can see the change, as the glare from the surface of the slab reduces while the light from the coin remains constant.

You can't hear the polarised light?  Turn the volume up, mate.
