King George V began his reign in 1910 but coins with his effigy
were not minted until 1911, the portrait was designed by an Australian, Sir Edgar Bertram
Mackennal. The local mints in Sydney and Melbourne had been employed in the striking of gold sovereigns and half-sovereigns but were not prepared to cope with the new currency and for the first few years Australian coins were ordered from the Royal Mint in London. |
