my friend asked me to look up a coin he has found in riverline valley. it is a queen victoria 1897 commemoration coin with the queen herself on one side and on the other are the words
IN COMMEMORATION of the loving welcomegiven by the children of sheffield to QUEEN VICTORIA in Norfolk ParkSHEFFIELD MAY 1897 . 1837 DIAMOND JUBILEE 1897.
It is from i think victoria to thank the 50 000 children that sang to her in norfolk park during her visit to the city and the opening of the town hall. or may have even been made by and given by the duke of norfolk on the queens behalf.
does anyone know anymore about the coin or know of any others that are around.
i thought i saw one once in the townhall hall during a school visit years ago but i may be mistaken.
will sell
