You have an 1897 Diamond Jubilee medal of a medallion. The medals were presented to members of the family, Royal household and various prominent people and public servants. You most likely have a medallion which was available from souvenir shops. Queen Victoria ascended the Throne in 1837 and celebrated her Silver Jubilee in 1852, her Golden Jubilee in 1887, and her Diamond Jubilee in 1897. Your medallion is definitely a collectible and will have some value. A reputable coin dealer will be able to identify your medal/medallion give an accurate valuation.
There is not much I can tell you about this. It is a souvenir medalette, not a coin. It celebrates Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee (60 Years) 1837-1897. It shows Queen Victoria and three other Royal Family members whom I cannot put a name to. In excellent condition, it might get £20 GBP. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.
A platinum celebration is normally 70 years in Britain, however for the jubilee if Queen Elizabeth is to remain on the throne it would probably be 75 years. The reason for this is because Asia celebrates a platinum celebration every 75 years and parts of Asia are still connected to the Commonwealth. If the Queen is too ill and not expected to go much past her seventieth year on the throne, then I suspect they will hold it sooner.
She was 18 years old at her coronation.
The Queen was born on 21st April 1926. The date of her Silver Jubilee was 6th February 1977 making the Queen 50 years old on that date
Queen Elizabeth started to reign in 1952, February 7th and hasn't stopped. She is 86 years old and just a few days ago from 1st- 5th June 2012 was celebrating her diamond jubilee
Queen Victoria was born in 1819 and she was 18 when she became Queen that it's mean in 1837. so Dickens was 25 years old :)
