The 1894 Victoria LVIII Crown is an important early issue in the Veiled Head crown series, struck at the Royal Mint in sterling silver (.925) and carrying the mature Veiled Head (Old Head) portrait by Sir Thomas Brock. Issued during the late Victorian period, this crown marks the 58th regnal year of Queen Victoria’s reign.
The reverse features Benedetto Pistrucci’s iconic St George and the Dragon, a design that has defined British crown coinage since 1817. The edge inscription “LVIII” denotes the regnal year and distinguishes this variety from the LIX (1894–1895), LX (1896–1897), LXI (1897–1898), and LXIV (1900) crowns.
The 1894 LVIII crown is admired for its substantial flan, elegant design, and its place at the beginning of the Veiled Head crown series. Attractive examples with original tone, strong detail, and clean fields remain highly sought after by collectors of British silver and pre‑decimal crown series.
