It was March 30th, 1853, in a town called Zundert in the South of the Netherlands, a baby by the name of Vincent was born. He went on to become quite a prominent artist! A week later, in Buckingham Palace, Queen Victoria was about to give birth to Leopold – her eighth of 9 children, at the tender age of 33 years old. The circulating coinage of the time included the Halfpennies dated 1853. We have a fabulous small group in Choice Unc condition with some lustre, and a further few in Uncirculated with more muted lustre. These coins were amongst the last copper coins made, a few years later, in 1860, the bronze coinage was introduced and copper phased out. The coin features the classic young portrait of Victoria by William Wyon, depicted as she was at 17 years of age, with date below. The reverse features the classic seated Britannia with shield and trident. High-grade Halfpennies from the year of Van Gogh’s birth and a great addition to your collection.

Copper Pennies first introduced in 1797 under George III were worth their weight in copper, which was a huge 1oz. By Victorian times the copper pennies - which were struck between 1838 and 1860 - were reduced to 0.6oz, before they changed to the smaller Bronze “Bun Head” design. We have been putting high-grade Copper Pennies of Victoria away for a number of years and are delighted to offer you these impressive pieces in Extremely Fine grade. They feature William Wyon’s depiction of Victoria’s “Young Head” on the obverse and the classic Britannia reverse. Some dates are very rare, we will be offering ones dated 1854 and 1858 only.

The Copper Penny of Queen Victoria was issued between 1839 and 1860. It was a nice chunky copper coin, that was replaced by the thinner bronze Penny in 1860. We have this coin available in Very Good, a grade that is better than they usually come. Because this coin was of such small value it tends to come up for sale in very used well-circulated quality. These copper pennies are above average quality.

In the whole Young Head series of Queen Victorian coins, the one that we have the most difficulty in getting is the Sixpence.
