Sydney mint 1892 Jubilee Head gold Sovereign (S 3868C, Marsh 143, DISH S16). The obverse of these coins features Joseph Edgar Boehm's controversial Jubilee Head portrait of Queen Victoria, together with the second-type legend, which is positioned closer to Victoria's crown. In 1892, Victoria was mourning the death of the second-in-line to her throne, her grandson, Prince Albert Victor. His brother, later King George V, would take his place in the line of succession. It's Benedetto Pistrucci's depiction of the legend of Saint George that appears on the reverse of these 1892 coins with a small 'S' mintmark shown to the groundline, identifying them as having been struck in Sydney, Australia, as part of an annual issue of 2,837,000.

Jubilee Head Obverse With Second Legend

Joseph Edgar Boehm's Jubilee Head portrait of Queen Victoria appears on the obverse of these 1890 coins, together with a legend that reads 'VICTORIA D: G: BRITT: REG: F: D:'. These coins feature the so-called 'second legend' where the word 'REG:' is positioned closer to Victoria's crown.

Saint George And The Dragon Reverse

Benedetto Pistrucci's classic Saint George and the dragon design appears on the reverse, showing England's patron saint mounted on a rearing horse, which shows a longer tail. The date (1892) is shown below with the artist's initials to the right and a 'S' mintmark to the groundline.

22-Carat Solid Gold Victorian Coin

Sydney mint Sovereigns are struck in 22-carat gold, weigh approximately 7.98 grams and measure 22.05 millimeters in diameter. This specification was established in 1817, and it's how Sovereigns are still made today.

How Many 1892S Sovereigns Were Minted?

2,837,000 'full' Sovereigns were struck at the Sydney branch of the Royal Mint in 1892. Further 1892 Sovereigns were issued by the London and Melbourne mints.

Collecting Jubilee Head Sydney Sovereigns

The Jubilee Head Sovereign series is short but remains a challenging and rewarding collecting goal for the serious numismatist. With three different mints issuing this portrait, as well as a range of variants, completing a full date run can prove difficult.
