Queen Elizabeth The Second will mark the same milestone in September of this year.</font></b></b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b><b><font size="5">This medal is about the size of a florin (25 mm) with a plain edge. This one is silver but there are some variants and they are seen in bronze 56 mm and silver 56 mm as well. This medal is an inexpensive historical medal that is at home in a British type set. </font></b></b></p><p><b><b><font size="5"><br /></font></b></b></p><p><b><b><font size="5">There is a gold version in both sizes and these are amazing to see in the original presentation boxes which were red with velvet inside and embossed lettering on the case. </font></b></b></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s858.photobucket.com/user/paulda1/media/victoria.jpg.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s858.photobucket.com/user/paulda1/media/victoria.jpg.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i858.photobucket.com/albums/ab149/paulda1/victoria.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
