Victoria (1837-1901), gold Half Sovereign, 1838, first young head left, type A1, date below, VICTORIA DEI GRATIA, toothed border around rim both sides, rev. crowned quartered shield of arms in frame, BRITANNIARUM REX FID: DEF: weight 4.01g (Marsh 414; S.3859). Lightly toned with underlying brilliance, just a few tiny hairline and surface marks, otherwise good extremely fine, hard to find a better example of this first date of the reign.
The Latin legends translates on obverse as "Victoria by the Grace of God," and on the reverse as "Queen of the Britons, Defender of the Faith."
