What can I say, nice inheritance!
For this type of coins you can figure out where they were minted. The mintmark (a letter) sits on the ground line above the center of the date. The absence of a mintmark means it was struck in London.
There was no half sovs coming from London in 1897. It should be either M (Melbourne) or S (Sydney)
Both 1900 and 1902 could be done either in UK or Australia, M, S, and also P (Perth).
