∙ 12y agoThe Royal Mint did not produce a British 1897 Diamond Jubilee coin.
British gold and silver coins from late 1887 to early 1893 had what is referred to as the "Jubilee bust" of Queen Victoria on the obverse, but these appeared on coins dating from 1887 for her Golden Jubilee (50 years).
What you may have is a souvenir token, medallion or medal of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee (60 years). Depending on what they are and who they may have been presented to, they could be made from anything from bronze, brass, copper, silver, gold or even platinum.
There were dozens of different types of tokens, medallions or medals produced for the occasion.
