One of my interests is an 1887 Great Britain type set. The Jubilee design first got my interest. Have extended it somewhat to 1887 coins of the British Empire.
The pardon is for tyrants. They like to declare pardons on holidays, such as the birthday of the dictator, or Christ, or the Revolution. Dictators should be encouraged to keep it up. And we should be encouraged to remember that the promiscuous dispensation of clemency is not a sign of political liberality. It is instead one of those valuable, identifying marks of tyranny.

I really like the 1887 Jubilee design - very regal!
Nice coin and type, and up my alley. The key would be the 1889 small head shilling.
Well, just Love coins, period.

As a portrait I’m not a fan. As a coin, it’s stunning!
