This is a Queen Victoria Gold Half Sovereign from 1894

This half sovereign design is commonly referred to as \'the Old Head\', as it is the last portrait of Queen Victoria to appear on a coin. The Old Head is also known as the veiled or widow head; it features an older and more mature portrait of Queen Victoria wearing her crown and veil, as a tribute to her deceased beloved husband.

The half sovereign was first introduced in 1544 under Henry VIII.

After 1604, the issue of half sovereigns, along with gold sovereigns, was discontinued until 1817, following a major revision of British coinage. Production continued until 1926 and, apart from special issues for coronation years, was not restarted until 1980.

It was also used extensively in Australia, until 1933.

The reverse side, featuring St George slaying a dragon, was designed by Benedetto Pistrucci.
The coin pictured is the actual coin you are offerding on.
