1 Cent - Victoria Pattern

Newfoundland's 1864 cent patterns were produced in London as part of the evaluation process before the colony settled on its coinage design ahead of Confederation discussions. The Boulton reference places this among a small series of competing submissions — the "Bo#25" designation situates it within Matthew Young Boulton's pattern documentation, suggesting London Mint involvement in the trial striking. Very few examples were preserved outside institutional collections.
