There has never been any Sovereign coinage in the Australian currency. The only coins of the Sovereign range circulating in Australia would have been British coins. Australia had yet to get its own currency in 1905, the first coins being issued in 1910. The Melbourne, Perth and Sydney Mints often produced Sovereign coinage, but these were British coins minted to the British pattern. The only identifying distinction is a very small "M", "P" or "S" mintmark on the reverse near the date.
