Something very very similar to that last one (Napoleon III, possibly identical but I'm looking at this with tired eyes) going for a lot of money on eBay - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/195999648718?hash=item2...

The description of it gives a nice bit of background information that could be helpful.

Image 1.2
Looking at the “tails” side ,the coat of arms has the inscription "Audi, Vide, Tace" which is a Latin phrase that means "hear, see, be silent"
The actual coat of arms belongs to the Freemasons of the United Grand Lodge of England.






As you have already noted it’s a Jubilee coin for Queen Victoria, so I would guess that it’s something that was produced on behalf of the Masons to commemorate the occasion.
