There are no 1953 Jubilee coins. 1953 was the year of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. Her Silver Jubilee was 1977, her Golden Jubilee was 2002.
There are usually only three. So far, Queen Elizabeth II has celebrated a Silver Jubilee (in 1977, marking her 25th year on the throne), a Golden Jubilee (in 2002, a 50th year observance) and a Diamond Jubilee (in 2012, for her 60th year as queen). A Diamond Jubilee normally would be held for the 75th anniversary of a monarch's reign, but an arrangement was made to honor Queen Victoria in 1897 for her 60th year on the throne. Queen Elizabeth II is the only other British queen to observe a Diamond Jubilee. According to Katie Couric of ABC News, Queen Elizabeth would celebrate a Platinum Jubilee if she is still Britain's monarch in 2022.

England hasn't had its own king or queen for 300 years. The current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, has been queen of the United Kingdom (which includes England) since 1952 and had her silver jubilee in 1977 (25 years). Her golden jubilee (50 years) was in 2002 and her diamond jubilee, 60 years on the throne, will be celebrated this year (2012). If she survives for another 4 years - she is now 85 - she will be the longest reigning British monarch of all time.
In 2002, the United Kingdom faced the tragic deaths of two prominent figures: Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother, passed away on March 30 at the age of 101, marking the end of an era. Additionally, the nation mourned the loss of Princess Margaret, Queen Elizabeth's sister, who died on February 9. These events cast a shadow over the celebrations of the Queen's Golden Jubilee later that year.
The Diamond Jubilee celebrates the 60th anniversary of being a queen.
