Hello all , I know there is a variation with the "R over V" in the word Victoria but from the attached pictures of mine it doesn't look like a "V" under the "R".
What do you think please ?

It confused me too. I couldn't see any variation - maybe the photo needs to be retaken. But does mine look like a "V" to you ?

​To be honest, no, not at all! More like a "I"?

My copy of Spink (56th Ed. 2021) lists the 'R/V' variety and I have added a year line for it. However, my copy of Collectors' Coins Great Britain (43rd Ed. 2018) lists a variety of 'R over I' and does not mention R over V. In my opinion, the R in your coin looks like it's struck over an I.

Thank you for the detail. It seems to be the general opinion that it is an "R over I".
Best regards & seasonal greetings.
