| Reverse description | The reverse features a dual portrait composition by Emma Eleanor depicting Queen Victoria at two stages of her life: in the foreground to the left, the young Victoria is shown as a bare-shouldered, diademed bust with elaborately dressed hair and floral ornamental sprays, evoking her early reign; behind and to the right, the elder Victoria appears in full regalia, wearing the Imperial State Crown, a widow's veil, the collar of a royal order, and a heavily jewelled bodice adorned with decorations including a cross badge, conveying her later role as Empress. The legend 1819·QUEEN VICTORIA·1901 arcs across the upper field, flanking both portraits, with the birth and death years flanking the queen's name. Elaborate acanthus-scroll ornamental devices fill the lower field. The engraver's initials EE appear incuse at the lower centre. |
