Also known as Veiled Head or Old Head Sovereigns, these issues bear the final coinage portrait of Queen Victoria by Sir Thomas Brock to the obverse. It shows the eldery Queen wearing a long draping veil over her crown. The Old Head can be seen on gold Sovereigns from 1893 through until Victoria’s death in 1901. It’s an elegant portrait, much favoured by collectors, especially when compared to the previous, short-lived Jubilee Head. The Widowed Head is paired with an older reverse design, created for the first modern Sovereigns by Benedetto Pistrucci. His interpretation of England’s patron saint, St George, in the act of slaying a dragon has been a perennial presence on these gold coins through the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
