| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crowned and veiled effigy of Queen Victoria facing left, rendered in the so-called Jubilee Head style as engraved by Joseph Edgar Boehm. The queen wears a small imperial crown and a veil, with the portrait presented in high relief against a flat field. The circumferential legend reads VICTORIA DEI GRATIA BRITT:REGINA F:D:, interrupted at the base by the coin's lower rim. The design is characteristic of the second portrait type introduced in 1887 for the Golden Jubilee coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Maundy money never circulated. Distributed annually by the monarch at the Royal Maundy ceremony — a tradition rooted in Christ's washing of the disciples' feet — these pieces were struck to a higher standard than currency coinage and typically passed directly into the hands of elderly recipients, one coin per year of the sovereign's age. Victoria's second portrait, the so-called "Jubilee head" by Joseph Boehm, replaced the earlier young head following the 1887 Golden Jubilee. Boehm died in 1890, mid-series, leaving the portrait in use without its creator.
