The 1875 Gold Sovereign - Melbourne Mint

Gold Sovereign of Queen Victoria minted at the Melbourne Mint, Greater Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. SCBC: 3857.

A small 'M' below the head on the Obverse indicates the sovereign was produced in Melbourne, Australia.

The Reverse depicts Benedetto Pistrucci’s famous portrayal of St George slaying the dragon on the reverse of the coin. On this coin the initials B.P. are in small text and the horse has a long tail.

The edge is milled.

The Obverse shows the young head portrait of Queen Victoria facing left by William Wyon; his initials WW are on the truncation of the neck. Legend is "VICTORIA D:G: BRITANNIAR: REG: F:D:".
