The Victorian Era is believed to have set the foundation for the basic principles of virtue and the importance of living harmoniously in society as a good and decent individual. There are certain attributes that make one rise to this standard and the Queen of England, Queen Victoria is said to have represented this without fault or detour. The allegorical representation of the Queen’s six virtues was first presented on the Victoria Memorial outside of Buckingham Palace. Designed after her death, the Winged Angel of Victory is featured at the top of the monument, and crouched at her feet are the allegorical figures of Courage and Constancy. This specific coin celebrates the allegorical figure of Constancy.

For the obverse field of the coin, the image was designed by Jody Clark who drew her inspiration from the designs of Ian Rank Broadly. The image is similar to the usual effigy of Her Majesty, but it offers more of her neckline and shoulders. The date of issue and the face value is featured.

For the reverse field, the allegorical figure of Constancy is engraved. She is depicted sitting under the Winged Angel of Victory with a compass in her hands. The needle points north to emphasise the need to stay on the right course.
