Commentary


Seule la lettre d'atelier placée à la pointe de l'écu permet de distinguer ce souverain australien d'un souverain normal, fabriqué en Angleterre. Ce type fut frappé à Melbourne entre 1873 et 1887 ainsi qu’à Sydney entre 1871 et 1887.
Only the mint letter placed at the tip of the shield distinguishes this Australian sovereign from a normal sovereign, made in England. This type was struck in Melbourne between 1873 and 1887 and in Sydney between 1871 and 1887
