Victoria gold Specimen Golden Jubilee Medal 1887 SP62 PCGS, 91.5g, BHM-3219, Eimer-1733a. An enticing gold medal of extremely large size, an appropriate commemorative for the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria, issued in 1887. Originally costing 13 Guineas, this medal marked Victoria's 50th year as Queen, quite a feat; at the time, it made her the sixth longest reigning monarch just slightly behind Edward III, and by the time she died 14 years later she would have become the longest reigning monarch in British history. A popular medal often given as gifts and somewhat carelessly handled, this type often shows contact marks and hairlines. The present offering is no exception but is nonetheless striking in appearance, a cameo effect achieved by Victoria's frosty portrait in contrast to the mirror fields behind. Of rich gold color and excellent quality, a superb and highly collectable medal. Accompanied by its original red leather case.
