As I understand the Queen in 1871 demanded a new design for the sovereign ( hence Marsh ), as a result of wich, the  St George and the dragon- design  was put to live again. But why was not the Shield- type discontinued at once  but ran along with the new design for 4 more years in the UK, and even longer in Australia ?
