Show us a Victoria coin. This example is my provincial New Brunswick.

Weiss · January 25, 2019 1:11PM

That is a fancy coin!

My best example, found raw in a huge collection of world crowns in early '16 and bittersweetly(?) long gone now:

Love the Victoria bust used on Indian coins!

Nice bronze medal turned up here the other day:

Long live Her Majesty the Queen!

rwyarmch · January 25, 2019 1:51PM

My lone Victorian coin.

MattTheRiley · January 25, 2019 4:10PM

My favorite Victoria - 1887 Double Florin. I still think it's a Proof, but our host disagreed at the time. One of my favorite coins in my collections too.

This one is no longer mine but it was a favorite for quite a while. Very rare, only 2500 struck.

Kind regards,

George

Very nice, George. I would be proud to own it.

SaorAlba · January 29, 2019 3:04PM

Pardon the banknote, but it was probably one of the last depictions of Queen Victoria that was not a commemorative issued much later on, but an anachronistic issue that the design of which dated into the late 19th century;

Yorkshireman · January 29, 2019 3:30PM

Neat piece, SaorAlba!
Thanks for sharing.

asheland · January 30, 2019 9:33AM

I traded away my UNC gothic florin, but still have this young head crown:

Thanks, folks.
Keep them coming.

It was MS61 PCGS. Sold it for $7000 IIRC.

A paisa from Bundi, rather crude with an incomplete legend [VICT]ORIA [Q]UEEN along with a rupee from Alwar

BillDugan1959 · January 30, 2019 2:17PM

Just yesterday received my new copy of Spink (Seaby) for 2019.

Victoria is featured on the cover because May 24, 2019 will mark the 200th Anniversary of her birth:

asheland · January 31, 2019 8:55AM

That coin looks 3D on that cover! Cool!

carabonnair · January 31, 2019 1:43PM

That most practical of all denominations - 1/13 of a shilling!

BillDugan1959 · January 31, 2019 3:54PM

As in Scotland, a little bit of money went a long way in the Channel Islands.

As a longtime collector of Scottish coinage - Scotland had some really screwy denominations and especially names for them, bodles bawbees, hardheads, hat pieces etc. My two dearest Scots coins are gold of course and 22/- and 146/-.

One of the coronation medals coming up for sale this month:

carabonnair · February 1, 2019 1:40PM

assorted coins from quarter farthing to crown

rwyarmch · February 1, 2019 4:07PM

Medal commemorating Queen Victoria's visit to the City of London Guildhall in 1837. BHM 1775 by W. Wyon, gilt silver enclosed in a silver ring with glass lunettes at issue.

7Jaguars · February 1, 2019 5:07PM

That is simply stunning and never get tired of that bust.

rwyarmch · February 2, 2019 2:55PM

Young Victoria was also a looker in gold.

BillJones · February 3, 2019 1:04PM

Victoria had the second longest rule of all the British monarchs. Unlike Elizabeth II who surpassed her longevity a few years ago, the portrait on Victoria's coins changed regularly with her age, although some young portraits appeared when she was older. Here's a quick run through.

Young Head 1863 dated penny

Still a young head, 1871 dated sovereign

A young looking Victoria on a Gothic Head Floren

A Jubilee Head 1887 florin. That small crown is on display at the Tower of London. She hated the big heavy one.

The old head on a 1897 farthing

All I can say is stunningly beautiful!

Here's a little different look for Victoria for her 1887 Jubilee. By H.G. Bucknell, 37mm.

QCCoinGuy · February 6, 2019 6:57AM

One of my favourite portraits:

carabonnair · February 6, 2019 8:42AM

Trinity College Dublin tercentenary showing two queens. I like the detail - on the veil and the spray of shamrocks. I couldn't tell if one of her badges was the order of St. Patrick. I own a couple medals by Edmond Johnson, but not this one.

In the collection of the current Queen Elizabeth.

rwyarmch · February 12, 2019 11:34AM

Me too! There's a little more room on this 1851 medal to fit her crown and dress.

Cool piece. How large is it?

rwyarmch · February 12, 2019 3:59PM

BHM 2414, Visit to Worsley Hall in Lancashire is 52mm in diameter. The trip was quite an event in 1851.

Victoria is well past my usual collecting time frame but I wanted an example of this issue for the expanding scope of my crown collection.

Que_sai_je · February 20, 2019 7:01AM

Picked this up recently , undoubtedly scarce to rare type for this error: however, IMO, very rare in Mint State.

"A jaw-dropping mint error", also 1872 different obverse die (they are numbered) but a very dramatic capped die (NGC MS62 with an "X" scratch in obv field) hammered for 10K at HA.

I've been enamored with this coin for going on 17 years now. The stars finally aligned with the right coin at the right time earlier this month and it just arrived home earlier this week. It's not every day I get to put a check mark next to one of the coins on the old bucket list. This one is pretty special to me and I think it's safe to say she's the Queen of my entire Darkside collection.

KM-744, Esc-2571, UN DECIMO edge

I love Vickies.

Hmm.

What I don’t love is when my pix post too small for reasons I cannot discern…
