Highlights

★ Rarity

• PCGS Certified Population: Only 26 pieces
  Although the mintage was relatively high, very few have survived in high-grade condition.
  As a circulating coin, most examples suffered wear over time, making well-preserved pieces exceptionally rare and collectible.

★ Condition

• PCGS 2nd Highest Graded Coin
  Despite being minted over 180 years ago, this coin has retained incredible sharpness and brilliance, with almost no signs of wear.
  For a circulation-issued coin to receive MS65 is exceptionally rare, and this piece retains the striking clarity and craftsmanship that elevate it to the level of historical art.

★ Market Appeal
British coins are the cornerstone of antique coin collecting.
Recent years have seen sharp value increases, affirming their strong and growing global demand.

Among British coinage, the Victoria series enjoys unshakable international popularity.
Queen Victoria's reign (1837–1901) spanned an era of prosperity and power for the British Empire, and coins bearing her likeness are widely admired worldwide.

Victoria coin designs are typically grouped into three types:

• Young Head

• Jubilee Head

• Old Head

This coin features the "Young Head"—the earliest and most admired design type, reflecting the Queen’s youthful optimism and grace.

Designed by William Wyon, whose legacy includes the famous "Una and the Lion", this coin represents a fusion of timeless beauty and numismatic prestige.

Its outstanding preservation, recognized by PCGS with a near-top-tier MS65 grade, places it among the finest known.
Such high-grade examples rarely enter the market, making this coin a true standout for collectors.
