Description
Queen Victoria, first type, 1855, with filletted head left by James Wyon. Relatively unworn, however with surface marks commensurate with damage from being scratched on a roadside, otherwise extremely fine and extremely rare in this condition.
Found by a truck driver on the road near an orphanage near Rockhampton in the early 1970s.
