It was the practice for coins to be minted with obverse and reverse 180 degrees out of alignment during Queen Victoria's time and earlier, although not all coins were minted that way. The practice seems to have gradually died out during the 19th century and ceased altogether in 1887.
All Queen Victoria Pennies, Halfpennies and Farthings were minted with both sides aligned normally.
The last Queen Victoria coins to be minted with obverse and reverse 180 degrees out of alignment were -
Three-Halfpence - 1862
Twopence - 1848
Threepence - 1887
Sixpence - 1887
Shilling - 1887
Florin (Two Shillings) - 1887
Halfcrown - 1887
Crown (Five Shillings) - 1847
Half-Sovereign - 1887

Queen Victoria featured on the obverse of all British coins from 1838 to 1901 inclusive. Many countries of the then British Empire, would have used the same British coins, or coins featuring Queen Victoria on the coins of their own currencies.
Queen Victoria ruled the British Empire from 1837 to 1901. There are hundreds, if not thousands of different coins from different countries with Queen Victoria on the obverse of them.Queen Victoria also had the unique distinction of being on the first ever postage stamp, the Penny Black in 1840.
Queen Victoria celebrated her Golden Jubilee (50th) in 1887 and her Diamond Jubilee (60th) in 1897. British gold and silver coins minted from 1887 to 1893 feature what is known as the "Jubilee bust" of Queen Victoria. She is shown as much older than previous images and has a veil and a small crown.
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?
Queen Victoria was born of the Royal House of Hanover in 1819. British monarchs from the House of Hanover included George I, George II, George III, George IV, William IV and Victoria. There were no Victorian 1837 coins minted, 1837 was the year of her coming to the throne, and there were no British coins minted with "Hanover" on them. These "coins" are most likely a token used as a gaming chip or similar.
Have another look. Queen Victoria died in 1901 and there was no 1956 British penny minted.
Empress Like on India coins of Queen Victoria they had Victoria Empress on them.
None. 1887 was Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee year. There were 2 x 1887 Golden Jubilee Proof FDC sets produced, one of 7 coins (Crown to Threepence) and one of 11 coins (Five Pounds to Threepence). Production figures are not known, but both sets are considered to be rare.
Please check your coin. Queen Victoria died in 1901, Queen Elizabeth II is on all 1964 British coins.
