Thats a very nice Viccy Sovereign,that was possibly the last year that they made those coins as she died in Jan 1901,is its a full Sovereign or a half Sovereign ??? both of course are very nice finds but of course the full Sovereign would be worth more due to be slightly larger and heavier.
It makes the old ticker miss a few beats when you find the old yellow coinage
