Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Sovereign - Victoria (Pattern) 1837 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 youthful portrait of Queen Victoria, who was just 18 years old at the time of the coin's creation. The coin's obverse also includes the Latin inscription "Victoria D:G: Britt: Reg: 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 first British monarch to bear the title "Defender of the Faith", which was previously held by the Pope.
