To the right, the reverse of the cross is shown with its circular central boss inscribed with the date of institution 29. JAN 1856. The abbreviation VC appears prominently in the lower right field, with the denomination FIFTY PENCE inscribed along the lower exergue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to mark the 150th anniversary of the Victoria Cross, first awarded in 1857 from metal salvaged — according to long-standing tradition — from Russian cannon captured at Sevastopol during the Crimean War. That provenance has been questioned by historians, but the Royal Mint has never officially abandoned it. The commemorative series ran across multiple years rather than a single issue, accounting for the date range on circulating examples.
