1914-1918 Mintmark Sovereign Set

Half a decade of Australian history

Each of the 15 sovereigns in this collection is distinguished by Benedetto Pistrucci's famous St George andamp; Dragon reverse design, together with the original obverse portrait of King George V - a portrait featured from 1911 to 1928.
