I got back on Sunday morning for 4 hours to the old homestead site where last weekend I found the 22K Wedding Ring dated 1815. Almost immediately I found another crotal bell, this was followed by a Queen Victoria Medallion, a ‘crusty’ Vickie LC and a beautiful brass wall hook that originally had a silver wash to it. Other interesting finds included a couple of suspender buckles (one brass and the other iron), a shield buckle, a toe-tap and a couple of buttons (one white glass). I have done some research and have been unable to identify the Victoria Medallion; I have found some that are similar, but not this exact one.
Queen Victoria Diamond Jubilee Medal 1897
I should know how this works… a 25th anniversary is a 'Silver Anniversary’ and after 50 years, it’s a 'Gold Anniversary’. Queen Victoria started her reign in 1837, so 1897 is a full 60 years, amazing, so it deserves a 'diamond' designation. This medal, which was struck, not in silver or gold but in low-value white metal and commemorates the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria's long reign. She went on, by the way, for another three years as queen! Medals are not as valuable as coins because there are far fewer medal collectors as coin collectors.
Thanks very much for looking,
Dave
