GREAT BRITAIN: (1837-1901) Queen Victoria 1883 Young Head London Mint Gold Half Sovereign. Obverse: Fifth Portrait. Young head of Queen Victoria facing left. Legend: VICTORIA DEI GRATIA. Date below bust & No designer's initials W.W. at the truncation. Royal Mint London coins have obverse 5 by Marsh: it has a lower relief and the largest bust of all varieties of the Young Head portrait. Because of this, the bun in the Queen's hair is clearly inside the legend area. The lower point of the neck truncation is in a similar position and touches the date. Thickening of the rim and toothing is also evident, which (coupled with the larger bust) gives an overall cramped impression. Reverse: In centre garnished shield quartered with the arms of England, Scotland, Ireland & surmounted by Royal Crown. Legend: BRITANNIARUM REGINA FID:DEF: Edge: Milled
