| Aanvullende informatie |
The colonial fourpence — the "joey," as it was commonly called — survived in British Guiana and other Caribbean territories long after it had effectively disappeared from everyday use in Britain itself. Demand from those colonies kept the denomination alive through the 1880s when it would otherwise have been discontinued entirely. The Royal Mint produced these specifically for colonial remittance, not domestic circulation.
Victoria's second portrait, modeled by Joseph Edgar Boehm and engraved by Leonard Charles Wyon, replaced the earlier Wyon young-head design from 1895 onward on most denominations — but the fourpence carried it from 1888.
