This is a sovereign

from your description I think you have a sovereign

there were a number of coins made for the 2002 jubilee
the gold soverign, gold half soverign, and five pound coin had a sheild on the reverse.
the crown had the queen riding a horse on the reverse, and an unusal over the shoulder head on the obverse.
there were some funny coins minted, a 20 dollar coin, with flags over terrace houses, and a £25 coin with the center of the sheild blown up on the reverse.
You may have a Queen mother's commentary coin, as she was associated with Glamis Castle in Angus, but i do not recognise it.

If it is an actual coin (one that you could spend) it will have all the same markings on it as regular currency. But it sounds as though what you have is a souvenir coin.
Why not google up Queen Elizabeth Golden Jubilee and see if such a coin was issued as part of the celebrations in that year?

My guess is that this coin commemorates the life of the Queen Mother.
She died in 2002 and Glamis Castle was her childhood home

It is definitely not a sovereign they are much smaller, I know I have a few, I would say from your description it was a medallion not a coin if it was a coin it would have the denomination on it
