Best Answer

The "young head" bust of Queen Victoria was used on all British Farthings from 1838 to early 1860.

The "laureate or bun head" bust of Queen Victoria, which was more of a "middle age" image, was used on all British Farthings from late 1860 to early 1895.

The "Jubilee" bust was never used on British Farthings.

The "old or widow" bust of Queen Victoria was used on all British Farthings from late 1895 to 1901.

It possibly came down to a matter of economics.

On the movie The Young Victorian who did Queen Victoria fall in love with?

It"s the Young Victoria, not Victorian which is an adjective ( the Victorian period in literature). The only real man in her life was of course ( he died young) Prince Albert. No she did not find him in a can. ( the old tobacco joke). She was certainly friendly with Politicians like Sir Benjamin Disraeli- who cooked up the Royal Titles Bill ( sometimes called Foreign Titles bill) prior to this, the British Empire was not an official title- after it, well she was both Queen and Empress. so it makes sense to have friends in high places.
