    For a while, I was working on a 1901 British Empire type set for my daughter Victoria, so forgive me if I overshare here. I didn't complete it, but got most of the way there.

    I love how even at the end of Victoria's reign in 1901, there were a variety of portraits of her used, from Young Head to Old Head, and some resembling the portraiture of the famous "Gothic" types, too.

    There were others, but either the pix have not survived, or I didn't have pix of them in the first place.

    3 Odd Colonies 2.jpg 3 Odd Colonies 1.jpg Oh how I love sorting through job lots!
    These three picked up yesterday -
    Gibraltar 2 Quarts 1842/1
    Essequibo & Demerary East India Company Stiver 1813
    St Helena Halfpenny 1821
    All three are fairly scarce and were not issued for long. I hadn't seen any of them before in hand. I still have a load more from the same job lot to sort through too.
