VICTORIA D:G:BRITT:REG: F:D: Gold Coin - Ahmedabad - god coins

This is one of a series of coins featuring the Jubilee head of Queen Victoria by the medallist and gem-engraver Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm. About this portrait the authority L. Forrer wrote 'Unfortunately, his head of Queen Victoria was so much wanting in artistic merit that it was severely criticised by all experts, and never gained favour with the public'. This head was replaced on the coinage in 1893.
