Details-
A Masterpiece of Gothic Revival Artistry.
William Wyon’s portrait of Queen Victoria fills the obverse, her crown at the top and shoulders at the base interrupting the trefoil edge motif. Victoria faces left wearing the St. Edward’s crown, the first time a monarch had worn a crown on British coins since the days of Charles II. The edge inscription, engraved in medieval ‘Blackletter’ style, reads ‘Victoria dei gratia britanniar.reg.f:d.’, an abbreviation of ‘Victoria dei gratia Britanniarum Regina Fidei Defensatrix’, which translates as ‘Victoria by the Grace of God, Queen of the Britons, Defender of the Faith’. William Dyce’s reverse design is a cruciform made up of four shields displaying the royal arms of the nations of the United Kingdom. The design is decorated with the floral symbols of each of the four nations, much like Victoria’s robes on the coin’s obverse. At the centre sits the arms of the Order of the Garter, featuring the motto ‘Honi soit qui mal y pense’, or ‘Evil to him who evil thinks’ |
