| Obverse description | Laureate draped bust of Queen Victoria facing left, engraved in high relief with finely detailed hair arranged in a chignon and adorned with a laurel wreath, a characteristic portrait by Leonard Charles Wyon. The circular legend VICTORIA DEI GRATIA REGINA arcs around the upper field, with NEWFOUNDLAND positioned along the lower periphery. The rim is defined by a continuous ring of fine beading, lending the design a refined, proof-like quality consistent with its pattern status. |
