| Obverse description | Uncrowned youthful effigy of Queen Victoria facing left, rendered in high relief in the manner characteristic of William Wyon's celebrated 'Young Head' portrait. The queen's hair is elaborately dressed and bound with a fillet, with loose strands falling at the nape of the neck. The legend encircles the bust, with the date appearing in the lower field below the truncation. The overall style is refined and classical, befitting a bronzed proof striking of exceptional quality. |
