2nd query.

This is a medal struck to commemorate Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee in 1897. It's one of a number which show the Queen annd her heirs in the next three generations. The small boy of 3 is not George VI but Edward VIII. They're fairly common; the most attractice one of this type I've come across was issued by Spink.
