Gold production and the Sovereign
From the 1st World War up until 1932, Sovereign coins were produced in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Bombay, Ottawa, and Pretoria. Between 1914 and 1957 the productions of the Sovereigns ceased, with the exception of a limited number of coins that were minted in 1925 in London as an attempt by Churchill to re-join the Gold Standard.
