Mint Mark p
Perth and other Australian Mint Sovereigns are some of the rarest Sovereigns obtainable.
The earliest Sovereign was the Young Head Victoria - the reverse design of which was taken directly from the Shilling (a common currency at that time in Australia) and with a slightly different Young Head of Queen Victoria.
This is known as the Type 1 Australian Sovereign.This was minted at the Sydney Mint in 1855 and 1856 at the Sydney Mint and had a mintmark s below the wreath on the reverse.It had a silver content of 8.33 %.
To make the Sovereign look more Australian for the type 2 Sovereign a different design was used.There was an Acacia Wreath on the reverse and was used all over the world including in India, S.America ,Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) Canada and London.In India there was said to be some disquiet over St George Killing the Dragon so the Shield was used
