This beautiful gold proof coin commemorates the 200th anniversary of Queen Victoria’s birth. Queen Victoria was born as Alexandrina Victoria on 24 May, 1819, at Kensington Palace, London. She was the only daughter of Edward, Duke of Kent, the fourth son of George III. Her father died shortly after her birth and she became heir to the throne as the three uncles ahead of her in the line of succession had no surviving legitimate children. Ascending the throne in 1837, at the age of 18, when her uncle King William IV died, Queen Victoria reigned for almost 65 years. In that time, Britain’s Empire expanded to cover about one fifth of the Earth’s surface, making Queen Victoria empress to almost a quarter of the world’s population. Queen Victoria began to shape the United Kingdom’s political landscape into that of a modern constitutional monarchy. The 1/4 oz gold proof coin depicts the effigy of Queen Victoria with wreaths of banksia in her hair. It was designed by Royal Mint engraver Leonard Charles Wyon. The reverse design also includes two stylised wattle branches, the inscription ‘200th ANNIVERSARY QUEEN VICTORIA’ and the Perth Mint’s mintmark. The obverse features the Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the 2019 year-date, the monetary denomination '25 DOLLARS', the weight and the fineness '1/4oz 9999 Au'. The 200th Anniversary of Queen Victoria gold coin is housed in a classic display case with wooden lid. It‘s packaged within an illustrated shipper and accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity.
