Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee (1897) marked the first time in British history that a monarch had reigned for sixty years. The celebrations were met with all the usual pomp and pageantry expected of a Royal occasion, and special commemorative medals were issued to mark the historic event. It is likely that this type of medal was issued to the mayor and councillors of Windsor. Its obverse (heads) depicts a veiled Queen Victoria, circumscribed by the text ‘Queen Victoria, Queen and Empress’; and the reverse (tails) bears Windsor’s coat of arms.Measurements: 90 x 39 x 9
