The Queens Virtues Series is based on a monument in London near Buckingham Palace that was erected in the early 20th century to honor Queen Victoria after her death in 1901. Known as the Victoria Memorial, it features six female allegorical figures that were long associated with her reign and the Victorian Era in England. The first to feature in this series is the one most prominently displayed on the memorial: Victory.

 

The Queens Virtues Series from the East India Company and the island of St Helena launched with this series of coins. An allegorical representation of Victory is featured on the reverse side. This depiction shows Victory in left-profile relief with her right hand held high, carrying in her hand the victors palm and surrounded by the text VICTORIA CONCORDIA CRESCIT (Victory through Harmony), and her wings flexed out behind her figure. Victory is a key element in both Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. The Queen is the sovereign Head of the Armed Forces to this day and has the sole duty to formally declare war and accept peace to end a conflict.

 

The obverse shows the Jody Clark effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II、face value, the date of issue and issuing authority.
