Jubilee Head
For Queen Victoria’s golden jubilee year of 1887, a new design was produced for all gold and silver coins, showing Victoria wearing a small coronet. Although the jubilee head coin issues are now very popular, they were much criticised at the time.
Jubilee sovereigns were struck from 1887 to 1893 inclusive.
For the year 1887, three different designs of sovereign were issued, young head shield, young head St. George, and jubilee head.
All jubilee sovereigns have the St. George & dragon reverse design.
