This old head design is also known as the widow head because the Queen is pictured in her widow's weeds. She wore this despite the fact that Albert, her husband, had died over thirty years earlier. This was the last year this coin was made (1901) and only Struck for just nine years
Victoria (Alexandrina Victoria; 24 May 1819 � 22 January 1901) was born at Kensington palace in London on 24 May 1819. She started the monarch of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 20 June 1837 until her death. From 01 May 1876, she used the additional title of Empress of India. She inherited the throne at the age of 18. Her reign of 63 years and 7 months, which is longer than that of any other British monarch and the longest of any female monarch in history, is known as the Victorian era. It was a period of industrial, cultural, political, scientific, and military change within the United Kingdom, and was marked by a great expansion of the British Empire.
