This coin is a British halfpenny from 1886, featuring the "Bun Head" portrait of Queen Victoria.
Key Specifications
Portrait: The obverse shows the young effigy of Queen Victoria by Leonard Charles Wyon, famously known as the "Bun Head" due to her hairstyle.
Inscription: The Latin legend reads VICTORIA D : G : BRITT : REG : F : D :, which translates to "Victoria, by the Grace of God, Queen of the Britains, Defender of the Faith".
Composition: Minted in bronze (95% copper, 4% tin, 1% zinc), which replaced the earlier, less durable copper version in 1860.
Dimensions: It typically measures 25 millimeters in diameter and weighs between 5.5 and 5.8 grams.
Historical Context
This pre-decimal currency was abbreviated as 1/2d (from the Roman "denarius") and remained legal tender until July 31, 1969, just before the UK transitioned to decimalization.
