| Obverse description | Diademed and veiled effigy of Queen Victoria facing left, after the so-called 'Old Head' or 'Widow's Veil' portrait modelled by Thomas Brock. The Queen wears a small coronet set upon a veil draped over the back of the head, with the hair dressed in a bun beneath. A legend encircles the portrait within the field, with the engraver's initials 'T.B.' appearing truncated at the shoulder. |
