| 正面描述 | Left-facing veiled and crowned effigy of Queen Victoria, engraved by Leonard Charles Wyon after the Jubilee portrait. The Queen wears a small crown atop a widow's veil, a pearl drop earring, a beaded necklace, and a brooch at the shoulder, with the ribbon and badge of the Order of the Garter visible on her breast. The truncation is unlettered, and the portrait is rendered in high relief with fine detail in the lace and fabric of the veil. The surrounding legend reads VICTORIA D:G: BRITT: REG: F:D: disposed around the upper field, separated by colons. A toothed border frames the entire design. |

The 1887 crown appeared as part of the Golden Jubilee coinage, a wholesale reissue of British silver denominations that introduced the so-called "Jubilee head" by Joseph Edgar Boehm — a portrait that proved immediately controversial. The public and press alike mocked it, with critics complaining the queen appeared to be wearing a small crown perched absurdly atop her head. Punch was particularly unkind.
By 1892 the portrait was replaced entirely, making this a short-lived type. Crowns of this era saw minimal circulation; the denomination was by then largely redundant for everyday commerce.
