Large left-facing portrait of Queen Victoria as a young monarch, uncrowned but her hair bound with two fillets, each without ornamentation, ending in a pony tail, closely copied from the Wyon design struck in London at the beginning of the reign. A flat six-pointed star appears centred below the portrait.
