Victorian 1887 Queen Victoria Silver Sixpence Tie Pin feed-agegroup-adultIn 1887 Queen Victoria celebrated her Golden Jubilee 1837 1887, so for the first time in 50 years she allowed the design of the coinage to be changed. The Sixpence had a shield on the reverse (like this one) which ended up causing a lot of trouble. Crooks were gold plating them and passing them off as Half Sovereigns. So later in the year they changed the reverse and added a value within the wreath. This tie pin is an example of the gold plated 1887

they were particularly popular in the 19th Century and the Romantic Period (the early years of Queen Victoria’s reign)
