| Obverse description | Crowned and veiled effigy of Queen Victoria facing left, rendered in the aged portrait style characteristic of her later coinage. The legend VICTORIA.DEI.GRA.BRITT.REG.FID.DEF.IND.IMP. encircles the bust in the outer field. The engraver's signature DeS (for De Saulles) appears in relief below the truncation of the bust. The portrait reflects the work of George William de Saulles, executed with fine relief detailing typical of late Victorian British colonial coinage. |
