Bustling with the energy of industry and progress, this coin – designed by artist John Bergdahl – has been issued to celebrate 200 years since the birth of one of the United Kingdom's most iconic monarchs, Queen Victoria. A progressive and popular queen, she lends her name to a time of rapid social and technological change. Capturing the spirit of the age, the coin features a portrait of a young Victoria along with a number of innovations of the era, all surrounded by a machinery cog motif.
