The 1891 Victoria Jubilee Head Crown is a classic late‑Victorian silver crown, struck at the Royal Mint, London in sterling silver (.925). It forms part of the short‑lived Jubilee Head series (1887–1892), issued during Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee era.
The obverse features the Jubilee Head portrait by Sir Joseph Edgar Boehm, introduced in 1887 and used until 1892. The reverse displays Benedetto Pistrucci’s iconic St George and the Dragon, one of the most celebrated designs in British numismatics.
The 1891 issue is popular with collectors for its bold design, substantial size, and its place within the transitional period between the Jubilee and Veiled Head portrait series. Attractive examples with original tone and strong detail remain highly sought after.
