1887 M Australia Victoria Jubilee Head St George Gold Sovereign Coin

Description: 2nd legend. Mc 175b. In 1887, Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee was celebrated with great fanfare throughout the British Empire. The momentous occasion was marked by a series of public events and festivities, including the unveiling of a new portrait of the Queen on her coinage. The celebrations drew dignitaries and representatives from all corners of the world, including members of the royal family from other countries. One of the highlights of the Golden Jubilee was the Queen's tour of England, Scotland, and Ireland, which provided her with a rare opportunity to meet with her subjects from all parts of the Empire. Her travels were widely covered by the press, and the events were celebrated in the newspapers of the time. The Golden Jubilee was a significant milestone in Queen Victoria's reign, and it underscored her popularity and the stability of the British Empire under her reign. She would go on to become the longest-reigning monarch in British history until Queen Elizabeth II surpassed her record. As such, the Golden Jubilee was a momentous event in the history of the British monarchy and a testament to the Queen's lasting impact on the country.
