1 / 2The Queen Victoria One Penny issued between 1895 and 1901 is a distinctive piece of late Victorian British coinage. The obverse features Queen Victoria’s famous veiled “Old Head” portrait, introduced during the final years of her long reign, while the reverse displays the iconic seated figure of Britannia holding her trident and shield.
Struck in bronze, this substantial pre-decimal penny represents the closing chapter of the Victorian era and combines classic British symbolism with more than a century of history. Its bold design and connection to one of Britain’s most significant monarchs make it a popular choice for collectors of Victorian coins, old British pennies and historic UK currency.
An attractive addition to any collection of British pre-decimal coinage and a genuine piece of everyday life from Victorian Britain.
