This specimen was lot 70104 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, October 2021), where it sold for $600. The catalog description[1] noted, "AUSTRALIA. Sovereign, 1882-S.

The SCWC does not attempt to separate the mintages of the two types.

Specification: 7.99 g, 0.917 fine gold, .2354 troy oz AGW.
