St George and the Dragon is on the reverse, designed by Benedetto Pistrucci. Initials "B.P." to right of date.
The edge is milled.
The Obverse shows a young head portrait of Queen Victoria by William Wyon. Legend is "VICTORIA D:G: BRITANNIAR: REG: F:D:". The artist's initials ("W.W.") are on the truncation of the neck and the 'S' mintmark below.Image credit: Museums Victoria.
