2019 Queen Victoria 200th Anniversary 2oz Silver Cameo
The Perth Mint has also struck a $2 2oz 99.99% pure silver coin which features a cameo insert depicting Leonard Charles Wyon’s effigy of Queen Victoria wearing wreaths of banksia in her hair.
Queen Victoria popularised portrait cameos made of sea shells during her reign. A filigree design borders the Queen’s portrait with a depiction of the royal St Edward’s Crown at the top.
In keeping with the historical theme each coin has been ‘antiqued’ by hand to convey the unique finish of an aged artefact.
Queen Victoria was born Alexandrina Victoria on May 24th 1819 at Kensington Palace London. She was the only daughter of Edward the fourth son of George III. Her father died shortly after her birth and she became heir to the throne as her three uncles ahead of her in the line of succession had no surviving legitimate children.
Ascending the throne in 1837 at the age of 18 Queen Victoria reigned for almost 65 years. In that time Britain’s Empire expanded to cover about one fifth of the Earth’s surface making Queen Victoria empress to almost a quarter of the world’s population. Queen Victoria began to shape the United Kingdom’s political landscape into that of a modern constitutional monarchy whereby political power shifted away from the sovereign to parliament.
