This 1847 silver crown, designed by William Wyon, depicts Queen Victoria in profile. The coin is an example of a "Young Head" coin, as it features Victoria in her early reign. The coin's inscription reads "Victoria Dei Gratia," Latin for "Victoria, by the Grace of God." This coin, part of the British currency system, showcases the artistic style of the 19th century and provides insight into the reign of Queen Victoria.
