Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Annas - Victoria (Pattern) 1891-1900 from India - British (British India) made of Gold is that it was designed by the renowned British artist and engraver, William Wyon. Wyon was known for his exceptional skill in creating detailed and intricate designs, and his work on the Pattern 2 Annas coin is a testament to his artistic talent. The coin features a portrait of Queen Victoria on one side and a depiction of a crowned shield on the other, both of which were designed by Wyon. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the power and authority of the British Empire, and it remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
