| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of Queen Victoria as a young woman, facing left, her hair elegantly styled in ringlets and drawn up into a chignon at the nape of the neck, engraved by William Wyon after a model by Sir Francis Chantrey. The portrait is set within a fine beaded border, with the legend VICTORIA DEI GRATIA arcing around the upper periphery and the date positioned in the exergue below the truncation. The rendering exemplifies the refined neoclassical style characteristic of Wyon's early Victorian coinage work. |
