The third and last design of the Victorian coinage was the Old Head type issued from 1893- 1901. You have the bust of Queen Victoria wearing a widow’s headdress and the other side has three shields in a circle. The coins are struck in Sterling Silver and were made for every year from 1893-1901. Dates will be of our choice, but the more coins you order, the more different dates we will try and give you. These coins were struck at the end of the longest reign of any British Monarch, although our own Queen is quickly getting close to over taking her. These Queens Shillings are available in different grades to fit more collector’s pockets. The grade offered here us Fine: all details readable and less wear, a very presentable coin.
We have a few Victoria Old Head Shillings in Unc condition for sale. Dates will be of our choice, but you will receive an Old Head Victorian Shilling in Unc condition. Please do not request special dates and remember that stock availability is limited...
Victoria came to the throne a very young woman, she was only 18 when she became Queen. Her first coins carried a very youthful portrait of Queen Victoria a portrait carried on for the next 50 years. The Shilling was struck in Sterling Silver and because they were used every day, they come well-circulated. We offer them here in Fair conditio; remember that the newest coin is now 130 years old. Dates will be of our choice, but the more you order the more different dates we will try and give you.
Queen Victoria was very young when she ascended the throne. So her portrait on the coins was of a young and attractive personage. Unfortunately they used that same portrait from 1838-1887. It is known as the Young Head portrait of the Queen. We found a box of Victoria Young Head Shillings all struck in Sterling Silver. Dates will be all over the place but we doubt that there will be any rare dates, we are offering them by type and not by date. But we are offering them in Fine. The more coins you order the more different dates we will try and give you. The newest of these Queen Victoria Sterling Silver Young Head Shillings is now 135 years old. Just goes to show that old Victorian shillings don’t have to cost the earth.

Queen Victoria came to the throne in 1837 and in 1838 they issued her first coinage. Because she was so young when she became Queen, this new coinage became known as Young Head Coins. In 1887 when she celebrated her Gold Jubilee, she finally allowed her portrait to be changed on the coins, this new portrait became known as the Jubilee Head Coinage. It only lasted from 1887 until 1892 when it was again changed. We have spent years accumulating enough 1887 Jubilee Head coins in high grades to offer them to you. All are struck in Sterling Silver and all are dated 1887 the first year of this new coinage. For years collectors have assumed that these coins are common. But in fact in the higher grades these coins have become very difficult to find. Prices while they have risen are still very affordable, especially when you think that they are 131 years old. On offer here is a Victoria 1887 shilling in choice uncirculated grade.

We know our collectors always want that missing date to complete their date runs, so in this feature we have put together the whole series of Victoria’s Old Head which date from 1895 to 1900. Better than the usual VG-F grade offered, and the first time we’ve offered them in Very Fine. Why not get a higher grade piece to fill that missing gap.
