An 1837 to 1897 Queen Victoria 60th Anniversary coin can be worth about $50. It contains silver, which makes its value fluctuate based on the rate at which the metal is being traded.
Please check your coin. 1897 was the year of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee or 60th year on the throne. Sixpences were not issued as commemorative coins. You may have a Sixpence like souvenir token or medallion.

It was a commemorative medal celebrating the 60'th year of British Queen Victoria's reign, issued in 1897.
Such a coin does not exist. Queen Victoria was not born until 1819 and coins with her likeness were not issued until 1838.
Sorry, meant a 1962 Gold Two Shilling coin - maybe commemorative 10 year?
1892 was not Queen Victoria's Jubilee year. 1887 was Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee year (50 years). The only relevance of the term Jubilee is that most gold and silver coins minted during the period 1887 to 1893 had what is referred to as the Jubilee Bust of Queen Victoria on the obverse. What is the denomination of your coin, what is the design on the reverse, what is it made from and what is the diameter?
There were no British commemorative One or Two Pound coins issued in 1993. The coin you possibly refer to is the Five Pound coin commemorating the 40th Anniversary of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II (in 1953).
Yes. The concept of a commemorative coin as we know it today did not catch on until the 1970's however, British commemorative coins have been issued for nearly 200 years. It was the practice to issue a gold Five Pound coin (Quintuple Sovereign) for the coronation of a new king or queen, or for a Silver, Gold or Diamond Jubilee. There was often a Crown coin issued for these occasions as well. Neither coin had an inscription or a specially designed image indicating the nature of the commemoration as is the case today. 1893 was Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year and a gold Five Pound coin (Quintuple Sovereign) was issued for the occasion. Although substantially larger, the coin has the same general appearance as any Sovereign coin issued for the period 1893 to 1901 showing the old veiled bust of Queen Victoria.
The Royal Mint did not produce an 1887 Jubilee coin. All British gold and silver coins from mid-1887 to mid-1893 inclusive had what is referred to as the Queen Victoria "Jubilee bust" on them. The "Jubilee bust" shows a much older Queen Victoria wearing a veil and a small crown.

the 250 year commemorative coin sells for $50
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.
