Queen Victoria’s reign is one of the longest in British History. Her 63-year rule is known as the Victorian Era. During this time the sovereign coin saw changes in its design at least three times. As a result, her coins were divided into three groups: the Young Head (1837-1887), The Jubilee Head (1887-1893), and the Old Head (1893­-1901). The young head shows a leftward facing bust portrait of a young 18­-year-­old Victoria on the obverse with her hair tied loosely into a loose bun or ponytail and is wearing two fillets (hair ribbons). The young head is again divided into two groups, the one from 1838­-1887 coins on the reverse features the heraldic shield and crown image designed by Jean Baptiste Merlen. These British Gold Sovereign coins are highly sought after for their artistic value, age, and historical significance. Their gold content is a great contender for modern bullion coins.
