The portrait is executed in the classic Victorian style attributed to Leonard Charles Wyon. The encircling legend reads VICTORIA D:G: BRITT: REG: F:D:, denoting her titles by the grace of God, Queen of the Britons and Defender of the Faith. The field is smooth and unadorned, lending a refined classical character to the design. |
