Design
Capping the sovereign series, the massive 65mm, 155.5g issue bears all six Queen Victoria effigies together against polished mirror cameo fields. The effigies are framed with a koru design representing the royal generations past, present and future. A lattice stained-glass effect symbolises the web of territories that Queen Victoria reigned over during the early peak of the British Empire.
