Own the coin that offended the Queen
Queen Victoria’s portrait was unchanged on coinage for nearly 50 years when, in 1887 for her Golden Jubilee, it was decided that it would be updated.
It’s now very difficult to find and only available in small numbers. Here’s why:
- The Queen and the rest of the country thoroughly disliked the coin for various reasons, including the small crown and the unflattering portrait of Queen Victoria.
- It was considered so unpopular that it was quickly replaced by the ‘Old head’ portrait.
- Not many were struck and fewer were kept by collectors in the 19th century, meaning that today they are incredibly scarce.
- The 1887 Silver Crown is now considered to be a real collector’s piece.
It’s one of the coins every collection should feature and it’s available today for a surprising price.
