What does a British Queen Victoria 1888 sovereign coin look like?

All U.S. cents from 1900 carry the picture of a Native American princess.
There are no cents with the letter V on them. You may be confusing the Indian Head cent with the Liberty nickel, which does have a V on it (remember your Roman numerals, LOL?)
In the same vein, wheat-back cents were only struck from 1909 to 1958

∙ 14y agoI couldn't find a picture of an 1899 British Penny, but the link shows one from 1897 that has an identical design.
The helmeted figure on the reverse is the goddess Brittania, a bit like the American image of Miss Liberty.

The 1792 Penny was a very small silver coin, similar to the Maundy Penny. It has an old laureate right facing bust of George III on the obverse with the legend GEORGIVS III DEI GRATIA around the circumference.
The reverse has a crowned 1 and the legend MAG BRI FR ET HIB REX around the circumference.
