GREAT BRITAIN. Victoria Diamond Jubilee Gold Medal, 1897. London Mint. PCGS MATTE SPECIMEN Genuine--Damage, Unc Details Gold Shield.
BHM-3506; Eimer-1817a. By G. W. de Saulles. Obverse: VICTORIA ANNVM REGNI SEXAGESIMVM FELICITER CLAVDIT XX IVN MDCCCXCVII, crowned, veiled, and draped bust (with older, contemporary features) left; Reverse: LONGITVDO DIERVM IN DEXTERAEIVS - ET IN SINISTRA GLORIA, garlanded head (with younger features) left; garlanded branch below. A popular later issue commemorating the queen's monumental 60th year of reign, this interesting design features a dual portrait--her current appearance as well as her very youthful countenance at the outset of her lengthy reign. A light scratch emanating from her neck on the obverse to the legend accounts for the details designation. Otherwise, alluringly matte and highly choice.
