| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of Queen Victoria facing left, her hair elaborately dressed and drawn back into a chignon with curls at the nape, engraved in fine detail by Leonard Charles Wyon. The portrait is set within a beaded inner border, with the legend VICTORIA D: G: REG: NEWFOUNDLAND disposed around the periphery, interrupted by the bust. The field is flat and unadorned, lending a classical austerity to the design characteristic of early Victorian colonial coinage. |
