Since there seems to be a bit of a Viccy theme going today, these may interest.
Showed these in another forum earlier this year.
<< <i>The reign of Victoria (1837-1901), niece of William IV, was long enough to prompt three distinctive portraits. These depicted her as the young woman of 18 on her ascension to the throne, as a mourning widow on her golden jubilee in 1887 and as an elderly empress in 1893 >>

The 1839 issue is unusual - not all minted made it into sets. Estimates vary, but there were only about 300-400 proof sets.
