In 1919, British sovereigns with a nominal value of one pound were issued by The Royal Mint, London and by the branch mints in Melbourne, Perth and Sydney in Australia, the Ottawa mint in Canada and for the first time at the Bombay mint in India. This was the only year that sovereigns were struck in Bombay, they were reintroduced in India in 2013.
Obverse
The obverse of the 1919 sovereign bears the portrait of King George V. This left facing bare head bust with the letters B.M. in truncation was created by Australian designer, Bertram Mackennal.
Reverse
Benedetto Pistrucci's traditional St George and the Dragon design which was first introduced in 1817 features on the reverse of the 1919 sovereign. His B.P. initials are set to the right of the date in exergue. The S mint mark denotes that the coin was struck in Sydney, Australia, this is located in the ground below the dragon.
