The inverted “1” in the date adds a subtle but telling irregularity, a small visual discord that mirrors the coin’s disrupted journey. Certified NGC AU58, it retains strong detail in Victoria’s youthful portrait and the regal coat of arms of Great Britain upon a shield, yet its surfaces reflect a different kind of wear—softened not solely by use, but by immersion and recovery.
As an Ex. RMS Douro sovereign, this piece stands at the intersection of numismatics and maritime history. It is less a routine gold issue than a recovered artifact, linking Victorian commerce, naval tragedy, and the enduring resilience of gold.
