The British Sovereign was one of the most circulated gold coins of the 19th and early-20th centuries. The coins were not only made by the Royal Mint for use in England, but also produced for use in British colonies around the world. Australia was one of the few colonies to strike the designs locally. Australian Gold Sovereigns were released by the Australian branch mints of the Royal Mint and were largely produced from 1871 to 1931. Today, Australian Gold Sovereign Coins are available to you online from JM Bullion.

The first Gold Sovereigns issued in Australia were struck by the Sydney mint in 1871. The Sydney Mint was the first of three Royal Mint branch locations opened in Australia, with all three branch mints contributing to the production of Australian Gold Sovereigns during the 50-year history of Gold Sovereign coining in Australia. The Melbourne Mint issued its first Australian Sovereigns in 1872 and the Perth Mint in 1899.

Obverse designs of the Australian Gold Sovereign Coins feature the reigning monarch of the British Empire. This effigy will align with the date mark of the coin. For example, Australian Gold Sovereigns issued from 1871 to 1901 have a portrait of Queen Victoria.

Reverse imagery on the Australian Gold Sovereign Coins includes one of two designs. Most of the date marks have a depiction of St. George slaying the dragon. From 1871 to 1887, the coins featured the image of the crowned Royal Arms of England.
