Large discoveries of gold in Victoria and New South Wales provided the resources and demand necessary for local coin production. Perth Mint Sovereigns were struck through 1931 and became known for their distinctive P mint mark. These coins continue to hold an important place in Australian numismatic collections. **Ordering** BGASC customer service representatives are available to help you at 888-992-4272.
