Royal mint question

I just got this Queen Eliz. Golden Jubilee piece and was wondering if the royal mint has a place to find value and mintage.

    Yes it is a medal, appears to be bronze and was struck by the Royal mint. 28.1 gms 38.5mm I have the box and mint paper with history, but no mintage data.

    << <i>Commemorative Jubilee Medal
    A medal to celebrate the Golden Jubilee was
    offered to businesses and community groups
    and proved extremely successful, with nearly
    150,000 medals having so far been purchased.
    The medal has portraits of the Queen on
    either side to reflect both her formal and
    informal role. The portraits were chosen by
    the Royal Mint Advisory Committee and are
    the work of James Butler and Michael Noakes.
    Customised options were available and the
    total number of medals included over 85,000,
    which combined one or other of the portraits
    with special designs required by customers.
    These designs, of which there have been
    more than 150, were redrawn by the
    Engraving Department and represented a
    heavy burden of work to be completed in
    time for the main Jubilee celebrations. >>
