Best Answer

The Sovereign was made from gold of varying weight and purity over the years, until the Great Recoinage Law of 1816 when the gold content was fixed to 7.322 grams, at which it currently remains.

Current Sovereigns weigh in at 7.9881 grams, are 1.52 mm thick, have a diameter of 22.05 mm, fineness is 22 carat or 91.67% gold, and the gold content is 7.3224 grams.

1931 Sovereigns were minted in Melbourne, Perth and Pretoria.

The Mintmarks are located "on the ground" under the horses foot and above the date.

The Mintmarks are -

  • M - Melbourne
  • P - Perth
  • SA - Pretoria
