| Obverse description | Young, diademed and draped bust of Queen Victoria facing left, set within a beaded inner border. The legend VICTORIA is inscribed above in the upper field and QUEEN below, divided by the portrait, both in raised Latin lettering. The effigy is rendered in the refined classical style characteristic of Leonard Charles Wyon's engraving work for British colonial coinage of the 1860s. |
