United Kingdom 1 Shilling 1887 Golden Jubilee Queen Victoria (1819-1901)

The Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria was a grand celebration marking the 50th anniversary of her reign on June 20, 1887. As the longest-reigning monarch of her time, Victoria's jubilee symbolized the strength and unity of the British Empire. The festivities spanned several days and included events in London and across the Empire.

On June 21, a grand thanksgiving service was held at Westminster Abbey, attended by members of the royal family, prime ministers from across the Empire, and foreign dignitaries. The procession to the Abbey drew massive crowds, with streets adorned in bunting and Union flags. Victoria, visibly moved by the public’s affection, rode in an open carriage despite her declining health.
