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

Isn't that a medal?

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.

From the Royal Mint's Annual Report 2001-2002

<< <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. >>
