Victory
The first coin in this magnificent series represents Victory, one of the most prominent virtues a Monarch can hold, the triumph over an enemy. Victory is a key element in both Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II’s reign. Victory signals the end of the conflict and a celebration of peace. The Queen as Sovereign is Head of the Armed Forces and is still the only person able to formally declare war and more crucially, an end to conflict.

The reverse of the coin features Victory, modeled after the Winged Angel at the top of the Victoria Memorial. In her hand is a Victor’s Palm, an ancient symbol for victory, triumph and peace. This side of the coin also features the inscription, “VICTORY • THROUGH • HARMONY”. The obverse bears the effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by internationally renowned sculptor Raphael Maklouf. The outer border of the obverse is inscribed with the issuing country St. Helena, the denomination of £1, the weight, fineness, Queen Elizabeth II, and the date of mintage.
