| Beschrijving keerzijde | The classic Pistrucci design depicting St. George on horseback, mounted and helmeted, wearing a flowing cape and boots, his right hand wielding a short sword as the horse rears to the right over a writhing dragon with a broken lance embedded in its body. The design is contained within a raised border, with the date appearing in the exergue and the relevant branch mint mark (M, S, or P) struck into the ground above the centre of the date. The reverse field is otherwise plain, emphasising the sculptural quality of Pistrucci's celebrated composition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Australian branch mints operated under license from the Royal Mint in London, striking sovereigns and half sovereigns to identical specifications as the parent institution — but the Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth facilities each used their own dies, creating subtle distinctions collectors track closely. Perth's output during this window was relatively modest compared to Melbourne and Sydney, making branch-mint attributions commercially significant. Each piece carries a mint mark (M, S, or P) on the reverse, and misattributed examples still surface in dealer stock with some regularity.
Victoria's Golden Jubilee portrait, introduced in 1887, was the obverse in use throughout this period — the so-called "veiled head" by Thomas Brock.
