Nice condition souvenir medallion struck up to celebrate the 60th year of Victorias reign in 1897.

The longest of any British monarch up to that time. Queen Elizabeth has now that honor at 68 this year.

Queen Victoria was queen till 1901.

This is an attractive medallion in brass with dark patina. Holed at top for suspension. Possibly purchased by a vendor at the event?

Obverse shows high relief older queen facing left, with legend around;
VICTORIA, QUEEN AND EMPRESS

Reverse side shows Maiden Soldier with Trident and outstretch arm, standing on shore with Sailing ships in distance.

Below is Lion laying down with Shield at maidens feet. (Peace and Strength)
In circles are depictions of the Queen at various important times of her life. At top is a young new Queen with date 1837, below I believe was her Wedding and to the bottom right her as an older woman with date 1887, her Jubilee the 50th year of reign.

At very bottom is Registered # of 291461 to the far right SAEEN BRM

Around the perimeter the legend:
BORN 1810 ENTHRONED 1837 JUBLILEE 1887 / YEAR OF REIGN 1897

Measures 32mm in diameter.
