Description

Victoria Sovereigns feature three main obverse designs: Young Head (also known as “bun” head), Jubilee Head, and Old Head (or Widow Head). The reverse designs include the classic St. George and the Dragon, and the Shield design.

The Young Head was the first design, minted from 1838 to 1887, followed by the Jubilee Head from 1887 to 1893, and finally the Old Head from 1893 to 1901. The Shield design is rarer and highly valued by collectors.

The Young Head Queen Victoria Sovereign

 

The Young Head Victoria Sovereiengs (AKA Victoria Bun Head) were the first to be minted during Queen Victoria’s reign, starting from 1838. They feature a portrait of a young Queen Victoria on the obverse side.

The reverse design of the coins varies between the classic George & Dragon design and the rarer shield back design, depending on the year of issue. Generally, coins minted up until 1871 will be shield-backs, while those created between 1871 and 1887 are more likely to depict St.George slaying the mythical dragon. William Wyon, the chief engraver at the Royal Mint, created the Young Head design, which was used until 1887.

The Young Head Sovereigns are highly sought after by collectors and investors due to their historical significance and beautiful design. The shield-backs trade at a premium to the standard St.George reverse.
