The four large medals feature colourised obverse designs depicting historical scenes: the 1838 Coronation, the 1840 Royal Wedding, the 1887 Golden Jubilee, and the 1897 Diamond Jubilee. Each medal is struck to a proof finish, measuring 70mm in diameter and weighing 110g. The reverse of each medal bears a left-facing profile portrait of a young Queen Victoria and the inscription 175TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CORONATION OF QUEEN VICTORIA. Also included is a historical silver-coloured coin featuring a Young Head portrait of Queen Victoria. The collection is housed in a purple presentation folder embossed with the name QUEEN VICTORIA. Accompanying documentation includes a Certificate of Ownership from Windsor Mint, numbered 000426, and four individual Certificates of Authenticity with serial numbers 00279, 01622, 00733, and 00197. The certificates confirm the collection is from a limited edition of 1,838.
