Description
GREAT BRITAIN. Queen Victoria "Diamond Jubilee" Bronze Medal, 1897. London Mint. Victoria. UNCIRCULATED.
BHM-3506; Eimer-1817a. Weight: 74 gms; diameter: 56mm. By G. W. de Saulles. Obverse: Bust left of elderly queen, VICTORIA ANNVM REGNI SEXAGESIMVM FELICITER CLAVDIT XX IVN[IVS] MDCCCXCVII around; Reverse: Bust left of young queen, LONGITVDO DIERVM IN DEXTERAEIVS ET IN SINISTRA GLORIA to left. Sold in original display boxes. On September 23, 1896, Victoria surpassed her grandfather George III as the longest-reigning monarch in British history, though she requested that any special celebrations be delayed until 1897, to coincide with her Diamond Jubilee, culminating in the June 1897 festival of the British Empire at the suggestion of the Colonial Secretary, Joseph Chamberlain, with prime ministers of all the self-governing Dominions invited to London for the festivities. The Queen's Diamond Jubilee procession on June 22, 1897 followed a route six miles long through London and included troops from all over the empire. The procession paused for an open-air service of thanksgiving held outside St Paul's Cathedral, throughout which Victoria sat in her open carriage, to avoid her having to climb the steps to enter the building. The celebration was marked by vast crowds of spectators and public adulation for the 78-year-old Queen.
