Silver Coin Celebrates Queen Victoria's 200th Birthday

2019 marks the 200th anniversary of Queen Victoria's birth. Becoming Queen at the age of 18, Victoria reigned from 1837 to 1901 – a total of 64 years – and was the longest-reigning monarch in British history until she was surpassed in by Great Britain's current monarch, her great-great-granddaughter Queen Elizabeth II. Synonymous with the British Empire's industrial and economic expansion of the 1800s, her name is used to describe the times – The Victorian Era, an age when it was said the sun never set on the British Empire.

To pay tribute to the bicentenary of Victoria's birth, Great Britain's world-renowned Royal Mint has issued a series of special commemoratives that pay tribute to the woman whose children populated the Royal Houses of Europe and thus provided her with the unofficial title of "the Grandmother of Europe." Struck in 1.82 ounces of highly-pure 99.9% silver, this double-thick legal-tender £5 coin is a smashing example of numismatic quality and art. It depicts a young Queen Victoria surrounded by the historic innovations that occurred during her lifetime, including the Penny Farthing bicycle, the telephone, the SS Great Eastern (then the largest ship ever built), and a train representing the first-ever British Royal train journey in 1842. Rounding out the design is a special edge lettering that reads "Workshop of the World."
