Mintage figures from this period were not very meticulous. Only a total number of coins including both the "Shield" and "St. George" varieties is known.
The combined mintage of both types from the Melbourne Mint is 3,052,000 coins.
This seems to be the case for all Sovereign coins minted at the Melbourne and Sydney Mints until 1887(?).
