Queen Victorias Golden Jubilee was in 1887 and was the 50th Anniversary of her accession to the Throne.

That being said, it was chronological (though there were certainly parades, etc in London) and not centered on any particular city, it was celebrated throughout the Empire.

Special coins, medallions and tokens were issued, some quite valuable. An oddity was the higher denominations were denoted by size and not marked as to denomination.

The gold 5 Pound coin was the top coin. Many years ago I saw one in a pawn shop. The pawnbroker thought it was not a coin but some sort of religious medallion, still out of my price range! It appeared to be larger than a US $20 Gold Piece, which has .9675 Troy Ounce content.
