You should purchase a 2005 Australia proof sovereign. It has the exact same reverse as the first sov. It has a book by sov expert Andrew Crellin, a nice chunky book full of detailed information about the settlement, the setting up of the mint, the Adelaide ingots, Adelaide pounds, and the 1855 Sovereign (and other sovs)

It is a must have. If you are lucky and patient you can pick up these slabbed with FIRST 1000 STRUCK, and velvel bags for the book and slab. It also doesn't have a hole in the book because it was known the coins were to be slabbed. I have 3 of these already. There was one on eBay recently but couldnt buy it at the current exchange rate. It sold for only 280 USD or something, a real bargain. I want about that much for my plain non slabbed one with the sov in the front of the book in a capsule. 7500 mintage total

There are 2 non slabbed version on ebay but they are very much over priced by a London seller. If you want mine let me know, I don't need it as I have 3 others All PF70 Ultra Cameo of course ! I have seen a lot of the 1000 and not seen a 69 yet.

I have a signature set with a nice 1855 and 1868 sovs, you can see it here

For an online reference this site is really great. Loads of information about Australian coins. Not completely up to date, but that is fine ! the amount is huge already
