What is the value of a 1901 Australian Sovereign?
The only "Australian" Sovereigns were minted at the Sydney Mint between 1853 and 1870. These have "SYDNEY MINNT" and "AUSTRALIA" clearly inscribed on the reverse. Any other Sovereign circulating in Australia would have been a British Sovereign minted to the British pattern. These may have been minted in either the London, Melbourne, Perth or Sydney Mints.
What is the value of a 1905 Australian Half-Sovereign?
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.
What does an 1852 -1931 Australian Half-Sovereign weigh?
Sovereigns and Half-Sovereigns minted in Australia at the Melbourne, Perth and Sydney Mints, were in fact British coins and were struck to the same dimensions, specifications and design as the coins would have been had they been minted at the Royal Mint in London. The exception to this is the Sovereigns and Half-Sovereigns minted at the Sydney Mint between 1855 and 1870 which had "Sydney Mint" and "Australia" inscribed on the reverse, which were for the use of the Colonies. Since 1816, all Half-Sovereigns were 0.917 fine gold, weighed 3.994 grams (half of the weight of a Sovereign) and 19mm in diameter.
