This beautiful one ounce silver 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 silver coin depicts four effigies of Queen Victoria that have featured on Australian coinage between 1857 and 1901. These include the 'Young Head Portrait', the 'Jubilee Portrait', the 'Veiled Head Portrait' and the 'Sydney Mint Type II Portrait'. With the St Edward’s Crown in the centre, the coin’s reverse design also includes 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 '1 DOLLAR', the weight and the fineness '1oz 9999 Ag'. The 200th Anniversary of Queen Victoria silver proof coin is housed in a classic display case with a clear lid. It‘s packaged within an illustrated shipper and accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity.
