| Obverse description | Uncrowned juvenile effigy of Queen Victoria facing left, engraved by William Wyon after a portrait by Sir Francis Chantrey, with the hair swept back and gathered into an elaborate bun at the nape. The finely detailed tresses and the classical simplicity of the bare neck reflect the early Victorian aesthetic. A beaded inner border frames the design. The circular legend reads VICTORIA D:G: BRITANNIAR: REGINA F:D: disposed around the portrait. |
