| Reverse description | Central device consisting of a crowned quartered shield of arms displaying the heraldic emblems of England, Scotland, and Ireland, encircled by a wreath. The national floral emblems — the rose, thistle, and shamrock — appear below the shield, with a die number positioned above them as is characteristic of certain pattern strikings of this type. The surrounding legend BRITANNIARUM REGINA FID: DEF: runs along the periphery, denoting Victoria's titles as Queen of the Britains and Defender of the Faith. The reverse design is attributed to Jean Baptiste Merlen and exhibits the precise, heraldic engraving style typical of mid-Victorian Royal Mint pattern coinage. |
