A picture would be most helpful... But the mint mark location on sovereigns is above the date in the "ground" between George and the dragon and the date... With a 10x loupe it should be clearly visible (I can see them with my naked eye but many people say you need a loupe to see the mint mark)
The D.L under George and SP (BP maybe, but I believe it's an S) are the designers or something, not 100% sure but nothing to do with the mint.
Here's a list of the mints-
London, no mintmark.
C = Ottawa, Canada
M = Melbourne, Australia
P = Perth, Australia
S = Sydney, Australia
I = Bombay, India
SA = Pretoria , South Africa
Here's an example of where to look for a mint mark.. If there is nothing there it was minted in London.
Hope this helps.. And I'd love to see a pic of your coin! Which mint did it end up being from?
*edit*- of course in the time it took me to type someone already answered.. O well, I tried.. Lol.
And I should mention that yours cannot be from Bombay or Pretoria as India only minted them in 1918, and South Africa from 1923-1932..
