Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Florin - 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 flowers and foliage. The coin's obverse also includes the Latin inscription "Victoria D:G: Britt: Regina F:D:", which translates to "Victoria, by the grace of God, Queen of the Britons, Defender of the Faith." This inscription reflects Victoria's status as the monarch of the United Kingdom and her role as the head of the Church of England.
