| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of Queen Victoria facing left, after the so-called 'Young Head' portrait modelled by William Wyon. The truncation of the bust is visible at the lower rim. A formal legend encircles the effigy within the coin's border, identifying the monarch and her royal titles. The portrait exemplifies the restrained classical style characteristic of early Victorian coinage, with fine hair detail and a delicate profile. |
