Calendar year mintage 719 The low mintage of 1923SA Sovereigns was dictated entirely by how much gold was brought in to the mint refine in its first months of operation. Only enough gold came in to mint up to 719 pieces for currency circulation. Sources vary in their quotes for the mintage, some say incorrectly as little as 64 which has been arrived at by taking 719 totalled here minus the 655 proofs which is wrong. Marsh quotes 406 pieces. The 719 figure comes from earlier sources and is later quoted in the South African based publications. £2500-3000
