Detailed Information:

After King Edward VII’s death in 1910, his son King George V ascended the throne. His rule lasted from 1910­-1936. Although he was ruling from 1910, the sovereign coins for him were struck only from 1911.

The coins were struck in large amounts at the British Royal Mint in London as well as the several branches of the British Royal Mint in other countries too. The main branches which minted George V sovereign coins were the Australian Branches.

In Australia, the Royal Mint had three branches;

• The Sydney Mint was the first branch to be established in 1871 and it struck British coins till1926.
• The second branch that was established was the Melbourne Mint in 1872 and it struck British coins till 1931.

• The third and the last branch was the Perth Mint and it was established in 1899 and it struck coins for the British Empire till 1931.

Each mint has its own mint mark. For Sydney Mint it is “S,” for Melbourne Mint, it is “M,” and for Perth Mint, it is “P.”

The Australian Gold Sovereign coins minted at the Australian Mints are rarer compared to the ones minted at the London Mint, as less quantity of coins were minted in these branches and each can be identified with their own mint marks.

The Royal Mint minted these coins only till 1917 after which it completely stopped production due to World War I, but the Australian branches continued to mint these coins till 1931.

The Sydney Mint minted the sovereign coins for George V only till 1926, hence they are rarer compared to the other two branches, the Melbourne and Perth which minted these coins till 1931.
