Detailed Information:

The British Royal Mint has stood the test of time and has survived to the present day! It is pleasantly surprising to know that this is an institution that is at least 1,100 years old. It first became a single institution in 886 under the reign of Alfred the Great. In the beginning it was one of the many mints, however, by 1279 all other mints had closed as they were no competition to the Royal Mint. The institution moved to the Tower of London by 1279 and there it stood unchallenged for the next 500 years. It has seen people of the calibre of Sir Isaac Newton serve for it as Warden of the Mint.

Along with the expansion of the British Empire whose power had reached as far as India and Australia, several branches of the Mint opened in different countries. The main and popular branches were;

• Sydney, Australia - Mint Mark S
• Melbourne, Australia - Mint Mark M
• Perth, Australia - Mint Mark P
• Ottawa, Canada - Mint Mark C
• Bombay, India - Mint Mark I

• Pretoria, South Africa - Mint Mark SA

The mint marks can be found on the piece of ground between the horse hoof and dragon and above the Year of Mintage.

One of the most popular monarchs of the British Empire is Queen Victoria enjoying the longest reign of 63 years. During her reign, which was from 1838-1901 millions of coins were minted. However, the Gold Sovereign Coins were divided into three main groups; the Young Head (1837­-1887), The Jubilee Head (1887­-1893), and the Old Head (1893-1901).

The Jubilee head were issued to celebrate the 50^th anniversary of the Queen’s rule. The Jubilee heads came from three mints which were the Royal Mint, The Sydney Mint, and the Melbourne Mint from 1887­-1893. The Sydney Mint gold sovereigns are rare as they had low mintage compared to the Royal mint issues. They contain the mint mark “S.”
