Commemorative circulation coins were not issued in Queen Victoria's day. Crown coins issued from late 1887 to 1892 have what is known as the "Jubilee" bust of Queen Victoria. It is very possible that you have a commemorative medallion or some other type of souvenir of the occasion.
The value depends on the denomination and condition. An 1887 farthing is going to have a different value than an '87 shilling.
The British 1887 Crown was only struck with the Benedetto Pistrucci "St. George and the Dragon" design on the reverse. The coin you refer to with a sceptor, may be the Double-Florin which is very similar in size and weight to the Crown, but very slightly smaller and lighter. Both coins have the Jubilee bust of Queen Victoria on the obverse.

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 Sovereign - 1887
The blue book value for a 1996 used Ford Crown Victoria in excellent condition is $2100. This depends on the mileage. The higher the mileage the less it will be worth.
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.
