| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dual portrait composition depicting Queen Victoria at two distinct stages of her reign: a youthful likeness from the early Victorian era and a mature effigy reflecting her later years, the two portraits flanking or accompanied by an ornamental lace motif in reference to Victorian decorative arts. The inscription above identifies the subject and her regnal dates, while the designer's initials appear in the field. The overall design commemorates the life and legacy of Queen Victoria from her birth in 1819 to her death in 1901. |
