Victoria Jubilee Head Coinage
There were three main obverse types of Queen Victoria plus the gothic type used only on the crowns and florins. The second of these is now generally known as the "Jubilee Head". It was used with from Queen Victoria's golden jubilee year of 1887 on gold and silver coins, until 1893 when an older portrait was introduced.
Victoria was a popular monarch, and many coins from her golden jubilee year were saved by collectors and non-collectors alike. Coins of 1887 still turn up very frequently, often in excellent condition. This makes 1887 an inexpensive addition to most collections.
