Queen Victoria Diamond Jubilee Commemorative 'Coin' / Token

This 'Coin' has been in my family for 3 generations now. No-one seems to know what is is other than a commemorative token. Its not Maundy money; there is no denomination on it. Silver perhaps. Maybe made by Spink, although I cant find any trace of it from their archives.
Measures 2.3cm. Heavily embossed. No edge design. Pictures attached.
Any ideas?

Looks like a medallion that was bought as a souvenier by an ardent monarchist at the time...

 

It is one of the many medals and medlets that were produced to commemerate her 60th year on the throne, quite a nice one from the look of it but a larger pic would be appreciated
Here is one that I have in my collection

 

Heraldic Symbols on the reverse side

It is interesting that on De Orc's medallion, the reverse side shows a shield quartered to represent, presumably, England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales - the four parts of the United Kingdom. Only three are depicted on mine, leaving off Welsh representation by the looks of it! Food for further discussion?
Clearer images now attached with reference size.

 

Wales was incorporated within the Kingdom of England by Henry VIII in 1543 (He was able to get away with this mostly because the Tudors were a Welsh dynasty), wheras Scotland and Ireland were considered Kingdoms in their own right at the time of the 1707 and 1801 Acts of Union.
Up until the devolution of Wales in 1998, Wales was considered to be legally and constitutionally indistinguishable from the rest of England, and is still considered to be a part of the old Kingdom of England as represented on the Royal Coat of Arms and the Union Flag...
