| Obverse description | Bare-headed left-facing effigy of Queen Victoria in the Young Head portrait, designed by William Wyon, with the hair drawn back and secured in a bun with a ribbon. The truncation of the bust is visible at the lower rim. The peripheral legend reads VICTORIA DEI GRATIA, with the date 1844 positioned in the lower exergue below the portrait. The field is plain, emphasising the delicate modelling of the relief. |
