"It is always casy to distinguish an Australian sovereign by looking
at the reverse side, just between the font of St. George's horse and the ground. If you see there an "S" or an "M" or a "P" the coin was minted in Sydney, Melbourne, or Perth.

The Oldest Marice Insurance
Policy.
With a recent issue of Lloyd's List was issued a supplement presenting a photographic facsimile of what is believed to be the oldest marine in- surance policy in the world. The document, which dates from February, 1656 (1657 new style). is an insur- ance for the sum of £400 on goods
to be laden in the London ship "Three Brothers," a vessel of 230 tons, for a voyage from Macassar or Bantam to London. The rate is 5 per cent., and the subscribers are four in number, each taking £100.
