Gold Medallion Commemorating Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee
In 1897 Queen Victoria passed a landmark that no reigning monarch had managed since or before the Norman invasion of 1066; she celebrated her 60th year on the throne and reached her diamond jubilee. As in 1887 with the celebrations for her Golden Jubilee, many artefacts commemorating this feet were duly issued. Including the rather magnificent gold medallion described here.

Description
This medallion was issued in several versions by T Brock and was issued as 'The Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria, the official medal.”

Obverse
The obverse features the veiled bust of the 'old head' Victoria with the inscription: - VICTORIA ANNVM REGNI SEXAGESIMVM FELICITER CLAVDIT XX IVN MDCCCXCVII

Reverse
The reverse depicts the famous young head portrait of Queen Victoria with the date of her ascension to the throne (1837) below. To either side of the portrait is the inscription: - LONGITVDO DIERVM IN DEXTERA EIVS ET IN SINISTRA GLORIA

Presentation
We have this stunning medallion in its original box with the dates 1837-1897 embossed upon it below the Royal Crown. In Spink's Catalogue of Commemorative Medallions' they note that pieces contained within their original box have a considerably higher value.
The piece is in immaculate condition apart from one unfortunate edge knock. Apart from this there are no noticeable markings on it at all.
