An 1877 British Penny looks very much the same as all British pennies issued from 1860 to 1894. They are made from bronze, are 30.81 mm in diameter and weigh 9.453 grams.

The obverse has a left facing Queen Victoria with a laurel around her head and her hair tied in a bun with the words - "VICTORIA D: G: BRITT: REG: F: D:" which is heavily abbreviated Latin. The literal definition is - "Victoria by the Grace of God, Queen of the British territories, Defender of the Faith".

The reverse has the seated female warrior Britannia wearing a helmet, carrying a trident and shield, who is personifying Great Britain.

The words ONE PENNY and the year also appear on the reverse.
