Own the original ‘Classic’ – the first Queen Victoria Sovereign

As the very first Sovereign of her reign, the Queen Victoria Young Head Shield Back Sovereign is arguably one of the most collectable Classic coins. A supply of Sovereigns like this is an incredibly rare occurrence. 

It is the only Queen Victoria Sovereign to feature a Shield design on the reverse, with all other Sovereigns struck during her rule depicting the famous St. George and the Dragon. 

Given its place in numismatic history, it is an important coin that belongs in every Sovereign collection.

Here's why it belongs in your collection: 

  • The very first Sovereign of Queen Victoria’s reign 
  • Unique reverse design – the only Queen Victoria Sovereign to feature a Shield on its reverse
  • Struck to the same exacting quality as all Sovereigns – 7.98g of 22 Carat Gold
  • Housed in a luxury wooden box giving your little piece of history the home it deserves
