The reverse features Winged Victory, inspired by the statue on the Victoria Memorial. Designed by Dutch artist Elles Kloosterman, Victory faces left and holds a victor’s palm in her left hand. The palm branch originates from the ancient Middle East and symbolizes victory, success, and peace. Additionally, Victory is also shown stretching out her right arm in triumph. A background of shapes similar to the one on the obverse fills the field. The phrase “Victory Through Harmony” borders the left and top side of the coin, while the EIC privy mark appears on the lower right.Coin Specifications:First release in the new “Queen’s Virtues” coin seriesMade from.999 fine silver with a weight of 1 troy ozBrilliant Uncirculated ConditionFace value of £1 (St. Helena Pound)St. Helena Legal TenderObverse: Presents a right-facing bust of Queen Elizabeth II designed by Raphael Maklouf, along with the inscriptions: “QUEEN ELIZABETH II,” “ST.
