But the portrait of the Queen is the one used at her Jubilee in 1887. Victoria ascended to the throne in 1837 so in 1887 she celebrated her 50th year as queen and they modified her portrait on GB coinage.

Interesting that she is facing right rather than her usual left. Can you read what is written across the centre of the reverse side (side with Canada on)? Report this Post to the Staff

swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 10/22/2006 7:06 pm pattiewhack - I agree with your assessment - the legend around the head may read DIAMOND Jubilee. The last two letters are clearly ND. Report this Post to the Staff
stmpcol Valued Member United States 223 Posts	Posted 10/22/2006 7:50 pm There are two ribbons, the one on the left I can make out the numbers 18, on the right its to corroded to make out anything. On the bottom is a raised ares where I can see the letters A N A D which is most likely whats left of Canada. Report this Post to the Staff
