This gold sovereign coin, designed by William Wyon in 1838, features a profile portrait of Queen Victoria. The coin, measuring 23 mm in diameter, is a classic example of a commemorative coin, depicting the British monarch. The coin's inscription, "Victoria D.G. Brit. Reg." (Victoria by the Grace of God, Queen of Great Britain) is a testament to Queen Victoria’s reign, which spanned from 1837 to 1901.
