Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee
Queen Victoria ascended to the throne age 18 on the 20th of June 1837, following the death of her Uncle King William IV. She was coronated at Westminster Abbey on the 28th of June 1837, where it was watched by several hundred thousand.
She celebrated her Golden Jubilee on 20th June 1887 with a service at Westminster Abbey and a large banquet with Kings from all over the globe.
To mark this magnificent achievement a new portrait was designed by Joseph Edgar Boehm which would be used to replace the ‘Young Head Portrait’ engraved by William Wyons. This portrait was used from 1887 to 1893 on gold and silver coins during this period.
For more information about the Jubilee Head Portrait please see out blog here: Victoria Jubilee Head Sovereign Information
Obverse
The jubilee head obverse was introduced to mark the fiftieth year of Victoria's reign. It was designed by the medalist and sculptor, Joseph Edgar Boehm. The coin features the legend:
VICTORIA D : G : BRITT : REG : F: D:
Reverse
The reverse was designed by Benedetto Pistrucci. It features the iconic depiction of St. George, on horseback, killing a dragon. The date 1887 appears in the exergue, and the initials B.P. (for Benedetto Pistrucci) appears to the right.
