This is a beautiful silver coin of course - I bought one in very fine condition for $25 in the year 2000. eBay is probably your best bet if you are seeking to buy one. Your local precious metals dealer probably wouldn't give you any more than the silver value if you wanted to sell it - maybe $10-$15.

How much is an 1889 Queen Victoria silver Sovereign coin worth It has no denomination on it - I think it is a commemorative coin?
What you probably have is a British 1889 sterling silver Crown (Five Shillings or quarter of a Sovereign). It is not a commemorative, although it uses the Jubilee bust. Sovereigns are made from 22 carat gold. The obverse has a left facing older crowned Queen Victoria with the inscription "VICTORIA D:G: BRITT:REG:F:D:" around the circumference, which is heavily abbreviated Latin for "Victoria by the Grace of God, Queen of the British territories, Defender of the Faith". The reverse has a sword wielding St. George on a rearing horse, killing a dragon, with the date at the bottom in the exergue. The coin is 38.5 mm in diameter, is 0.925 sterling silver and has a milled edge. A British 1889 sterling silver Crown (Five Shillings)(Victoria), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £225 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch up to £15 to £80 GBP. The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.

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?
What is the value of a Queen Victoria Del Gratia Britt gratia ed 1889?
