Sovereigns were issued for Queen Victoria in almost every year from 1838 to 1901. There were three main obverse (head) designs, and two reverse designs. The old head, also known as veiled or widow head, was produced from 1893 to 1901 inclusive.
All Victoria Old Head sovereigns from 1893 to 1897 share the same obverse (head) design. The reverse is the familiar St. George & Dragon design originally engraved by Benedetto Pistrucci about 1817.
