Another one I don't know about. This one is silver, 1 inch (20mm) dia. Rev. has a young Victoria head.

Quite a few leaves/flowers at the bottom. No outer band at all. Beneath the branches - 1837.

Left of the head Right of the head

Obv. has Victoria veiled bust. Round the edge (no band) VICTORIA ANNVM REGNI SEXAGESIMVM FELICITER CLAVDIT XX IVN.MDCCCXCVII. What do I call this one ? - Is is worth anything ? Thanks

Third query.

Me again!

This is the official medal struck by the Royal Mint to commemorate Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee. One side has the young head after Wyon and the other the old head. It was struck in two sizes in silver and bronze (and presumbaly gold although I've never seen that one). Again, fairly common, but worth a little more if you have the original case of issue.
