The Australian coins carry a small mintmark (&apos;S&apos;,&apos;M&apos;,&apos;P) just above the date to represent Sydney Mint, Melbourne Mint and Perth Mint respectively. 
<h3>Early Australian Gold Coins</h3>
In 1851 the British prospector Edward Hargraves (1816-1891) found gold in Orange, New South Wales and started the Australian Gold Rush. It was a major event for Australia, moving the convict colonies into progressive cities and new wealth. 
 
At that time Britain had considerable influence as Australia was a number of British colonies and then part of the British Empire. However, that didn&apos;t stop Adelaide setting up an assay office and producing a gold coin known as the Adelaide Pound. The Adelaide Pound contained 8.75 g of gold which was slightly more than the British gold sovereign, and the alloy contained silver which gave the coin a lighter colour. The non-British design and strange colour meant that these coins were non initially accepted as legal tender outside of Australia.

Between 1855 and 1870, Australia produced it&apos;s own style sovereign with "Sydney Mint, Australia, One Sovereign" on one side and Queen Victoria on the obverse. 
<h3>Australian Gold Sovereigns 1871-1931</h3>
Rather than transport the gold to London, it made sense to open branch/subsidiary mints in Australia. The Sidney Mint was established in 1853, Melbourne Mint in 1872 and Perth Mint in 1899. 
 
From 1870 it it was decided to use the same designs as the London Mint, with the addition of a mint mark ("S", "M" or "P"). Melbourne and Sydney continued to mint Shield Back sovereigns even when it had been discontinued in London. Production became so large that by 1900 Australia supplied about 40% of all the sovereigns used in Britain.

<h3>Specification of Australian Gold Sovereigns</h3>
The specification of the Australian sovereigns is identical to the London sovereign made at the Royal Mint: 
<ul>
 	<li>Weight: 7.9881g</li>
 	<li>Diameter: 22.05 mm</li>
 	<li>Thickness: 1.52 mm</li>
 	<li>Purity: 22 carat = 91.67% (11/12ths gold, 1/12th copper. Adding copper makes the coin more scratch and dent resistant)</li>
 	<li>Gold Content: 113 grains = 7.3224 g = 0.2354 troy ounce</li>
 	<li>Face value: £1 = 20 shillings</li>
</ul>
Australian Gold Sovereign production ended in 1931 when the Great Depression caused the the gold standard monetary system to be ended. However, commemorative Sovereigns are still occasionally made.
