The obverse features a left-facing crowned and veiled portrait of \u003cstrong\u003eQueen Victoria\u003c\/strong\u003e with the inscription \u003cem\u003eVictoria D.G. Britt. Reg. F.D.\u003c\/em\u003e — \"Victoria by the Grace of God, Queen of the Britons, Defender of the Faith\" — encircling the design within a fine milled border. The reverse displays the iconic \u003cstrong\u003eSt George and the Dragon\u003c\/strong\u003e design by Benedetto Pistrucci, with the date \u003cstrong\u003e1887\u003c\/strong\u003e beneath the horse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1887 Jubilee Head Sovereign was issued to mark Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee — fifty years on the British throne — making it one of the most historically significant sovereign issues of the entire Victorian era. The St George and Dragon reverse, first introduced by Pistrucci in 1817, remains the definitive image of the British sovereign to this day. This 28.4mm copper replica faithfully reproduces the extraordinary portrait and reverse detail of the original Royal Mint strike. This piece is a British Victorian historical collectible coin designed for display and collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQueen Victoria reigned from 1837 to 1901 — the longest reign in British history at that time. The Jubilee Head portrait, designed by Joseph Edgar Boehm, was introduced in 1887 to replace the earlier Young Head design and appeared on all British coinage through to 1893. The Gold Sovereign was the cornerstone of the British gold standard and circulated across the entire British Empire. The 1887 Jubilee issue is particularly prized by collectors as a Golden Jubilee commemorative, combining historical significance with the finest Victorian portrait engraving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e✔ Free worldwide shipping   ✔ Secure checkout   ✔ Securely packaged for safe arrival\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign:\u003c\/strong\u003e Queen Victoria Jubilee Head obverse \/ St George and Dragon reverse\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInscription:\u003c\/strong\u003e Victoria D.G.
