In 1858, there was only one main type of Victoria shield sovereign, the second (large) head. 

Although there was only the one type of sovereign issued in 1858, there were two variations of the sizes of the year date, small date and large date. There is also a GRɅTIɅ version  (see further info) and an overdate 8 over 7 in 1858. The coin here for sale is the overdate version.

There are no die numbers, and the engraver's initials WW are incuse on the truncation of the neck.

Although there was only the one type of sovereign issued in 1858, there were two variations of the sizes of the year date, small date and large date and an overdate 8 over 7 in 1858. The coin here for sale is the overdate version. Also, we have identified a new variation which is very exciting. Instead of the two letter As in GRATIA, this sovereign features what look like two inverted Vs, or unbarred A's, I.E. GRɅTIɅ.

All 1858 sovereigns are London Mint second portrait, shield reverse, with no die number.
