1884 Melbourne Sovereign AU55

Struck at the Melbourne Mint in 1884, this Queen Victoria Gold Sovereign comes from the height of Australia's great 19th-century gold era.

Its most important identifying feature is remarkably small.

Beneath the portrait of Queen Victoria is a tiny letter:

M

That single letter identifies this sovereign as having been struck in Melbourne, Australia.

But behind that tiny mintmark is the much larger story of the Australian gold rush, the extraordinary growth of Melbourne and the transformation of Australian gold into money that could travel throughout the world.
