The Queen wears a small coronet set over flowing hair, with a ribbon tied at the nape of the neck. The legend VICTORIA QUEEN is arranged in two arcs flanking the portrait, reading upward on the left and downward on the right. A fine dentillated border frames the entire obverse field. The mintmark H, denoting Heaton and Sons, Birmingham, appears on some issues below the truncation. |
