That's a coin from a Maundy set. It is a very old English tradition during which the monarch gives a select number of elderly individuals a set of coins (4 denominations). It dates back to the time of King John. The coin is distributed on Maundy Thursday right before Easter. They're highly collectible and very pretty, especially the ones of Victoria. This particular coin is often referred to as the "young head" type since it shows a younger portrait of Victoria.
