Victoria sovereign 1887

This gold sovereign coin, created by Benedetto Pistrucci in 1887, depicts Queen Victoria in profile. The coin features a detailed engraving of the queen's face, with her hair pulled back and a jeweled crown. The inscription "Victoria D.G. Britt. Reg. F.D" is visible around the rim, an abbreviation for "Victoria, by the Grace of God, Queen of Great Britain, Defender of the Faith." The coin is a striking example of Victorian era portraiture and a testament to the craftsmanship of the time.
