What is the value of a Queen Victoria 60 year commemorative coin with four heads on the reverse and Queen Victoria on the front commemorating her Diamond Jubilee?

Answer 1

There is not much I can tell you about this. It is a souvenir medalette, not a coin. It celebrates Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee (60 Years) 1837-1897. It shows Queen Victoria and three other Royal Family members whom I cannot put a name to.

In excellent condition, it might get £20 GBP.

A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.

Answer 2

These were often issued as tokens/medallions with the four monarchs on the obverse during the late 1890s (Queen Victoria, Edward VII, George V and the very young baby George VI).

In mint state they can fetch from £50 - £150. One recently sold on eBay for over £100. I believe they are struck in bronze.

Answer 3

1837 was the year of Queen Victorias' Coronation. There were no coins issued with her image in 1837, and there were no commemorative coins issued during her reign.

You may have a souvenir token or medallion.

The old crowned head could indicate 1887, the year of her Golden Jubilee (50 years).

The old veiled head could indicate 1897, the year of her Diamond Jubilee (60 years), or possibly 1901, the year of her death.

There also a range of medals issued on various occasions and presented to other members of the Royal Family, selected government members, members of the police and other authority and representative groups.

Answer 4

The 60th anniversary was 1897 (her diamond jubilee). The question is too vague. What type of coin?

Answer 5

Nothing, it is a fake. Queen Victoria died in 1901.

Answer 6

Despite being rare there is not much interest in them at the moment. If you do have one save it as it's value could esculate.
