This is one of the coins that tells the story of how Australia began minting its own gold currency.
Struck in Sydney in 1861, this Queen Victoria Gold Sovereign comes from the earliest years of Australia's sovereign production and carries a design unlike the later Melbourne, Perth and Sydney sovereigns.
There is no tiny “S” hidden beneath St George.
There is no need to know a mintmark to discover where it came from.
Instead, the coin proudly announces:
SYDNEY MINT
and, directly at its centre:
AUSTRALIA
For a coin struck more than 160 years ago — four decades before Australian Federation — that word is particularly powerful.
