The Queen Victoria One Penny issued between 1860 and 1874 is a classic example of Victorian British coinage and one of the most recognisable pennies of the 19th century. The obverse features Queen Victoria’s distinctive “Bun Head” portrait, while the reverse displays the iconic seated figure of Britannia holding a trident and shield, with a lighthouse and sailing ship in the background.

Struck in bronze, this penny was introduced as part of Britain’s transition away from the larger and heavier copper pennies of earlier years. Its detailed Victorian design and strong historical character make it a popular choice among collectors of British pennies, Victorian coins and pre-decimal UK currency.

With more than 150 years of history behind many examples, the Victoria One Penny is an attractive piece of everyday British monetary history and a great addition to any collection of historic UK coinage.
