1893 Threepence Jubilee Head Victoria Silver Coin

Collectable British 1893 silver Threepence, struck with Joseph Edgar Boehm's controversial Jubilee Head portrait of Queen Victoria.

Introduced in 1887 - Victoria's Golden Jubilee year - Boehm's portrait proved unpopular and was removed from currency after less than a decade. The Jubilee Head and the new Widowed Head were both used on 3d coins in 1893, both paired with the classic crowned three reverse.
