Notes:

As a heritage project for its centenary in 1999, the Perth Mint undertook a world-wide search for 'exceptional' quality examples of this coin. The result was the compilation of 70 complete 33-Sovereign 'P' mintmarked sets.

In 2000, the Perth Mint released a Golden Dragons 2 Coin set with an east meets west theme. Included in the set was a 1915 sovereign minted in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth or London.
