Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Decade - Victoria (Pattern) 1848 from United Kingdom is that it was designed by William Wyon, a renowned engraver and designer at the Royal Mint. Wyon's design features a young Queen Victoria, crowned and robed, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. The coin's obverse also includes the Latin inscription "Victoria D:G: Britanniarum Regina F:D:", which translates to "Victoria, by the grace of God, Queen of the Britains, Defender of the Faith". This coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a limited number minted in 1848.
