Justice - The Queen's Virtues

FIAT IUSTITIA - ‘Let Justice Be Done’


The fourth coin will illustrate a Winged Angel of Justice with sword in hand symbolising the reputation of a just and righteous Queen. The child to her left carries her scales of justice, symbol of unbiased pronouncement.

The Victoria Memorial sees Queen Victoria flanked on both sides by the principles of Truth and Justice. The Justice allegory is symbolic of the virtue of being just and fair in all circumstance and treatment. As Sovereign and by the coronation oath, the Queen has a duty to cause Law and Justice with mercy to be administered to all.
