Description

Victoria was born on 24 May 1819 in London, and lived a sheltered childhood with her mother and German governess. Her own father, Edward, the Duke of Kent had died when she was a baby. On the death of her uncle, William IV, Victoria was the only legitimate heir and therefore first in the line of succession.

In 1838, at the age of eighteen, Victoria ascended the throne relying heavily on the guidance of the then Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne. Her marriage to Prince Albert in 1840 gave her further support, resulting in a happy marriage, which produced nine children.
Queen Victoria reigned until her death on 22 January 1901 at Osborne House on the Isle of Wight. She was buried at Windsor beside Prince Albert in the Frogmore Royal Mausoleum. Above the Mausoleum door are inscribed Victoria's words, “Farewell best beloved, here at last I shall rest with thee, with thee in Christ I shall rise again”.
As the longest reigning British Monarch and the figurehead of a vast Empire, Queen Victoria saw unprecedented social and technological change.

The silver coin’s reverse depicts a coloured Coronation image of Queen Victoria from the Royal Collection painting of 1840, by Sir George Hayter. An image of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Crown.
