The Pre-Owned 1877 Sydney Mint Victorian "Shield" Full Sovereign features a Shield design reverse rather than the traditional St George & the Dragon design. A new Ensigns Armorial was commissioned for the reverse of Victoria’s first sovereign. It was designed and engraved by Jean Baptise Merlen and depicts a shield, adorned with a crown and a wreath. The conjoined rose, thistle and shamrock represent England, Scotland and Ireland.
The obverse depicts the 'Young Head' portrait of Her Majesty Queen Victoria and the coin’s year-date.
- Each coin weighs 7.98g and is struck in 22ct gold, equaling 7.32g of Fine Gold Content.
- Minted by The Sydney Mint, Australia.
- VAT free and Capital Gains Tax exempt.
- Bullion Finish.
- Dimensions: Diameter: 22.05mm Thickness: 1.52mm.
The Sydney Mint struck gold sovereigns between 1871 and 1926. On the reverse of the coin, underneath the shield, appears a conjoined rose, thistle and shamrock; above this is where the mint mintmark can be located. It appears as a small S mintmark - they are quite small so viewing with an eyeglass may be required.
