Part of the five coins set (Pictures with permission of © London Coins Ltd / www.londoncoins.co.uk):Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare design, the "Old Head" portrait of Queen Victoria, which was originally used on the gold sovereign from 1838 to 1887. This design was chosen to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Queen Victoria's birth in 2019.
