The Queen Victoria Pennies issued from 1860 to 1895(?) were referred to as "Bun Pennies" due to Queen Victoria having her hair tied in a bun.
The bun pennies (and halfpennies) were issued from 1860 to 1894.
Same with farthings (quarter pennies), but there are scarce 1895 bun farthings.
They were followed by the Veiled Bust or Old Head, in 1895.
Such a coin does not exist. The British 1896 Penny showed what is known as the "old veiled" or "widow head" bust of Queen Victoria. What is known as the "Bun" Penny shows a younger Queen Victoria with her hair tied in a "bun" and was issued from 1860 to 1894.
British Pennies have been called "Penny" since they were first introduced over 1,200 years ago.
The British Penny has been called a Penny since it was first issued in the late 8th century AD.

The British Half Penny was no longer issued after 1984.
The 1869 British Bronze 'Bun Head' Penny is worth around £10 - £20 in poor condition. In the lowest grade i.e. FINE (most detail present but has seen considerable circulation) around £100 - £150. In mint state with red lustre the coin can make as much as £3,000 - £3,500. 1869 is considered the rarest of the 'normal' bun head series by date.
